Li Series
Digital Video Processes - Datamoshing / Videos - Single Channel
Li is a concept found in neo-confucianism Chinese philosophy used in taoism to depict the underlying reason and order of nature expressed in its organic forms. Li is way of describing the structure of flow found in the natural world as compared to human's predominantly rectilinear forms. The Li Series is a body of work that uses digital processes and datamoshing to explore this flavor of flowing composition within digital video.
An Untitled video from this series was awarded 3rd Place at The Harlow gallery's Juried Show 2017. “Andrew Elijah Edwards’ video piece brings a hypnotic kind of calm to the space. The slowing of time is cathartic and the silence oddly comforting.” -Guest Juror Cory Daniels
