The project Forms is an ongoing collaboration between visuals artists Memo Akten and Quayola. It illustrates how athletes’ body motions move in a creative way.
When the video just started, I didn’t notice the human body in it and I thought it was all about visual effects. But after I saw the body motions in it I felt the great power and creativity of the artwork. The blurring between real life experience and the abstract effect interpretes body movement in a new way, which fascinates me the most, implying that body is part of the environment and every movement will have invisible impact to the surroundings. Randomness of the elements plays an important role in achieving the effect. The elements in the video are throwed about randomly but acturally they are in some ways controlled by the pathway of the body. So the randomness is not pure, containing certain level of logic.
