“When you stare at a screen for long, the screen stares back at you.” It starts with a ripple on the pixel ocean and ends deep inside the guts of the screen: A color rush, a trip, between horror and absolute bliss, between overload and weightlessness. PATTERN COGNITION uses the entirety of abstract and experimental film’s bag of tricks to smother the cinema space, swallow its viewers and push through the membrane of the screen. Sublime abstraction, overwhelming, terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
