a two-second video about quantum superposition that, fittingly, never plays the same way twice.

it is natively digital and made to be watched where the audience is: on the internet.

screens run at a fixed frame rate. a video filmed at 120 frames per second, played on a 60 frames per second screen, shows only 60 of those frames.

so i hacked the display process. every second frame of the video is different, which hides a second video that never gets displayed.

the twist: the video runs at about 119 frames per second instead of 120. the screen slowly drifts from one "side" to the other, producing an artifact that reads two ways, with two meanings.

the footage is a hand-sculpted 3d model, built and rendered in blender. to make the point that the art is in the superposition and the technique rather than in the visual, i did not let the render finish.

each frame carries heavy, unpredictable noise from the rendering process.
