Donato Sansone's 'Concatenation': A Digital Chain Reaction
Donato Sansone releases 'Concatenation', a short video depicting an unpredictable chain reaction triggered by an initial explosion. The work uses found footage to create a constant deflagration of evolutions and reversals, hypnotizing viewers with its metamorphoses. Though brief, it suggests an infinite fractal-like loop, echoing Sansone's earlier analog short 'Videogioco-loop experiment' from eleven years prior. Now, 'Concatenation' acts as a digital counterpart, with image resolution shifting between standards as a metaphor. Sound designer Enrico Ascoli enhances the piece with impeccable audio, adding pathos to even the most banal elements.
