Henry Gwiazda
The football players, moving clouds, passing cars, plane and associated sounds come together to form an intricate multimedia choreography.
Through this fusion, I am attempting to create a new kind of sensitivity or perception that encourages the viewer to transfer attention from one aesthetic response (visual, aural, tactile) to another in order to experience a new kind of transmedial perception.
