Bio:
Rodney Glick and Lynette Voevodins collaborative video projections have been exhibited in the 25th Sao Paulo Biennal, at the Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, in Shock at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, and was the major component of Rodney Glicks survey exhibition in 2004 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. In 2006 they will present Life plus TV the second of their 24 hour videos at the 9th Havana Biennale, Cuba and undertake a residency in Kent, England to produce a fifth 24 hour video.
Western Desert is part of the 24Hour Panorama Series produced and directed by Glick Voevodin. Constructed using 24 camera positions, Western Desert, located on top of a water-tower outside a remote township in the Pilbra Region of Western Australia. The camera is focused for 24 hours on the landscape's horizon line, the sun and, the full moon. Each camera records 1 hour in a 24 hour day, resulting in 24 one hour parallel streams of compressed video footage. The entire 24 hour panorama can be watched in one hour.
The rolling frame-by-frame linear structure of the image here remains relatively static, with movement occurring as shifting detail within the frame. In this way, the work operates more like a large, moving landscape painting than a film-based work accelerating our view of the world by an accumulation rather than a depletion of data. From 5am one day to 5am the following day, the film creates a vast desert panorama in which the entire day can be viewed in 60 minutes.
