A screen-based drawing by Ronan Devlin and Michael Flückiger. https://www.michaelflueckiger.ch/

The idea for this collaboration came from a habit both artists have of using (meditative) distraction to help find ideas and solve problems. The resulting three channel work is made from footage of wanderings in rural Wales interwoven with software generated drawings which, breaking mathematical predictability, meander across the screen masking and revealing layers of film.
