In the ways of video art I am still testing different coloured gels. I could be getting myself a better camera but for he moment I will continue to use this old faithful. It eats alot of battery energy so the viewing time needs to be precise otherwise its just wasted video air. Its a fun thing to use these gels, which are normal coloured acetate transparencies. You can bend the light to get varing degres of light and also you can get the arificial light to trick the camera's own perception, if you look for just a second the camera thinks its going to get the next different gel when at 02:03 it immediately confuses the camera's baring as the lense quite litterally fooled it into thinking it had the other gel. In the video I am showing what its like in the perception of what it would be like to model one of my Neo Kigurumi masks. as art is surposed to have a certain moral quota to show the viewer I take kigurumi beyond the cute and perverse titalational fetish that it has currently. Its just another motif for me to play with as an artist I think I can grow. To go beyond sculpture, canvas and drawing. Its the true spirit I think on what a true artist is. On a human level, its looking through someone else's perspective. Its the growing through grounding of one's self. You can get that through religion, poetry, family or friends but one outlet I am sure we can all agree on is that you get it through life. We all wear masks in life. The deceaving, the masks we wear and the masks we dont when we are fragile and delicate. We show our faces in public but what are we truly showing? The human condition has a long way to go so lets hope through art we can help try to solve this mystery so we can at least try to make a better go at living life no matter what mask we have on. Sheesh! All this interest in the vid and you havent even seen JessiKa in the kit yet!?

Jul 21, 2008 - I guess you could call it "Overhead acetate". Its all about the angle you place it over the lense. It can give it a Natural Born Killer or a Paris Hilton Green screen inferred camera effect. Then you can bend the light to create the psychadelic effects by bending the plastic. To then secure it by prior having it on a dolly or a bed of ploymer. The masks have the constricting view point here but then most people can empathise as they can see through the eyes by simply watching this video!
