Synopsis

From the deepest corner of the ether, you feel its pull. Change is an experimental short film about the passage of time on a massive scale. Change is deeply rooted in experimental animation production process. The process began two years ago as a material exploration intended to test the limits and capabilities of viewport rendering and lighting. The film exploits real-time rendering techniques to represent the incomprehensible transient nature of reality and our perception of it.

Jonny Ostrem is a visual artist working in Vancouver, BC. He employs 3D renderings, real-time engines, and simulation – often co-opting CGI tools of representation to achieve unexpected results. His digital imagery explores the expressive potential of technology, operating in a broad spectrum between realism and abstraction; taking the form of large scale prints and projections in galleries and public spaces. Ostrem’s experimental animated work has shown in exhibitions across Canada, including FUSE – Vancouver Art Gallery 2016, New Forms Festival (2014), Ottawa International Animation Festival (2010), GIRAF Film Festival, Calgary (2010) and Les Sommets, Montréal (2010).
