M O U T H T R I P serves as a flowing force dragging you beneath its digital skin, into the medium itself. This union of the body and the medium is presented as an empty shell. Frozen and dead but also vulnerable and unstable. We experience a series of heterogeneous transitions between images that never quite settle down. This exploratory trip is lead by an uninterrupted flight in a dense environment in ways reminiscent of video game cut scenes which removes all form of input from the player and force you to wait and watch what happens. As a powerless observer, we pull back in the digital wild life as the shell morphs into a crystalline aberration.
This short collaboration began with an album of the same name by KAGAMI Smile on BLCR Laboratories. The album is described by the artist as a chaotic trip through an organic microcosm: the human body. This abstract, post footwork sound collage superposes saturated digital manipulations of looping samples resulting in a feeling of anxiety along a double presence surrounding us.
