Capturing multicolored cascades of digital compression, Data Waterfall is a sublime, sound-reactive film created by Adam Rodgers, whose experimental work has led to commissions for Jake and Dinos Chapman, and longtime collaborator Warp Records. Since developing pioneering online experiences for the British label’s roster including Boards of Canada and Flying Lotus, Rodger’s Studio Remote (formerly known as Remote Location) produced a 12-hour, online installation for Brian Eno. Today’s psychedelic piece is inspired by Gerhard Richter's abstract paintings and the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Predator, and deploys a real-time dynamic that sees movement triggered by the musical soundtrack from precocious hip-hop producer, Hudson Mohawke. The thunderous beat is taken from Warp's online game Butterstar Galactica, a collaboration with artist Thomas Traum and creative coder Mike Tucker. “Data Waterfall represents an element of nature by using digital methods,” explains Rodgers, who is also co-founder of the record label, Numbers. “I love the idea of elements like clouds being commandeered for use in a digital context, and this film is intended as an extension of that expression.”
