Showreel

animation from 2009

The visual content of Showreel, 2009, was derived from experiments with a screen capture software which posted images directly to a website. The software was developed by Van den Dorpel and used by him and a group of friends like a surf club. Upon recognising an associative narrative, showreel became an anthropological investigation, as well as a documentation of the process of making sculptures, the 3–d renders of which also appear in the video.
