From Mark Sniadecki's Vimeo page:"Created for the collaborative exhibition "SPIN" with textiles artist Amanda Ross, as part of the spring 2016 Fuller Gallery series at Indiana University, Bloomington. The piece is projected as large as possible onto the gallery wall, accompanied by a related (but not synched) audio composition entitled "Worksounds." The exhibition theme explores the rhythms of yarn spinning, with Ross performing on a mechanical exercise bike converted into a spinning apparatus (with the generous engineering assistance of by Curt Baxter). The video component features images of raw cotton, spun thread, and implements utilized by Ross in a manual spinning method involving a handheld spindle turned inside a teacup. "Worksounds" was created by sampling and tonebending the sonic elements of Ross's teacup method. In concept, I have sought to create a visual rhythm of alternating frenetic stop-motion images and gliding, calm interludes featuring rotating teacups recorded in real-time. The interplay of work, rhythm, and sonic components forms an overall characterization of Ross's process, and my work here is intended to support her live performance in the gallery."
