"The theory of evolution" by Johan Thom (2006)

A real time film (9min49sec) in which high-and low tech approaches to contemporary art production are blended. Pre-made sequences (some animation and some film samples) were projected from the top of a building (4 storeys high) onto the live performance on the floor. This was then recaptured as HD foottage and shown in realtime on a 9 television splitscreen monitor. Co-directed by Garreth FradgleySoundtrack by Shane de LangePerformance assistant: Simon GushLogistics: Mika Le RouxSpecial thanks to Coeo (a South African company that comissioned the work) and Hollard Insurance Headquarters in Jhb for their support.
