About "Analogic Drowning"

[Daniel Pinheiro]

Analogic Drowning is a constant attempt of a resuscitative process of bringing back to life a stored and videotaped memory. It is an experimental video art where the original material is used both as an inspiration and final object itself, an intersection of both analogic and digital procedures that carry a sum of errors from the process and convert them into the core of this piece.

While the basic elements of the first action dated from 2003 are still present, they are residual within a 10 year working-in-progress experience approaching video as an artistic medium.

As any other being on the earth we strive to survive, we constantly regenerate from residual primary and basic instincts. We keep trying to have our heads above the water because that’s one of the only things that we can control between life and dead. We keep playing “rewind” in order to move “forward” while we “play”.
