Our visual field is dominated by gossamer layers that become distorted in fluid motion break off begin anew and continually change color As we continue looking they break down into seemingly amorphous constructions We see details textures and patterns from curtains whose form responds to air movements and whose color alters through manipulation Through or behind the veillike fabric we can make out plants As our gaze is increasingly directed outwards we momentarily discern trees branches twigs and undergrowth before they vanish into electronic interferences Hill uses video shots of these motifs as a basis for his artistic experiments in electronic alienation overriding the colors and tone values to such an extent that the recorded structures become distorted and dissolve beyond the limits of their identifiability
