Motion Test was made while in residency at the Atlantic Center for the
Arts in Spring of 2003, where the associate artists in residence were
experimenting with video works of very short duration.
Again, as with Condensate, the short duration of the piece led to ideas
concerning lifespan, termination, and moments in which our perceptions
of reality are pierced. For this piece, excerpts from US Department
of Defense films documenting nuclear testing in the 1950's are re-edited
and juxtaposed.
