Even odd even is the artistic interpretation of a time and space based analysis of a video feedback[1] and delivers an insight into a fascinating world of spatial complexity and dynamic behaviour. The vision is drawn in a highly suggestive way to a pulsating pattern of black and white lines. By the rhythmic movements of these bar codes, permeated by a thick carpet of sound, the vision glides at times as in picture puzzles into a new spatial dimension...

It concerns the focused center of a video feedback (1 min. 18 sec.), with very fast moving image content. To be able to experience not only the fascinating flow of information, but also the content and correlation in more detail, the video feedback is decomposed into its essential parts - the alternate successive odd and even fields, each lasting 1/50 second. Separated from each other, newly ordered and their speed manipulated, various sequences are created which are placed in relationship to the original video feedback. The apparently hidden becomes visible in a process of aesthetic experience.

[1] Video feedback is a technology known since the late 1960's (Skip Sweeney). A video camera is directed towards a monitor to which it is connected recording the light from that monitor and sending it back to the monitor simultaneously. Through that feedback abstract images come into being, which can be manipulated by the ambient light and by adjusting the control devices (focus, zoom, brightness, contrast etc.).
