Max Cooper Hope
Im excited to show this new video project, Hope, the first video of my new AV album One Hundred Billion Sparks coming out on 20 Sept this year. Hope comes early in the story of One Hundred Billion Sparks, when were looking at the mechanisms which create our experience. I spent a long time chatting to the video creator, Thomas Vanz, about action potentials, and neuronal signal transmission, so that he could interpret the process using his visual systems. We linked the idea of hope, in a personal, human sense, to the journey every ion has to make across the neuronal membrane an infinitesimal part of the most complex machine, with each particle striving for its destination, driven by the charge gradient across the membrane. Its not biologically accurate of course, its an epicscale dramatisation of a fundamental process that is making you aware of reading this right now. Once again, borrowing beautiful ideas from nature for my music video projects
