“Incomplete” By Ash Koosha

Composed of a single take, “Incomplete” invites us to traverse an endless choreography of bodies in perpetual free-fall and updating images that reflect a world in constant change.

“Incomplete” is an ode to what artist and media theorist Hito Steyerl coins the "poor image." The image which is collected, copied and processed to the point of disorientation and anonymity. The image which is not one but consists of many while still maintaining a contour of coherency.

Experimental methods in 3D animation, rotoscoping, and compositing are re-imagined with the application of Artificial Intelligence frameworks such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Image Segmentation and Synthesis. This audiovisual project is a reverie of an increasingly virtualized world that is submerged into a constant flow of information and disparate impressions that takes shape as a rupture in linear time and slow-burning anxieties. Comprised of a single take, the camera follows anonymous bodies in perpetual free-fall; moving through an endless choreography of updating images that reflect a world in constant change.
