Web 2.0

by Payson Stevens | Oct 16, 2015 | Mixed Media | 0

Web 2.0 is a meditation, in three parts, on digital technology using symbolist imagery. It explores deeper psychic and mythic aspects of cyberspace and social media. Web 2.0 combines my original video, music (piano and synthesizer keyboard), and poem. Most of video was shot in New York City: the Brooklyn Bridge superstructure symbolizing the Great Web and the Greenwich Village Halloween footage representing the mythic world surrounding us. The nature footage was shot in India in the Western Himalayas. It’s from the series,VideoTonePoems-I: 2014.

VideoTonePoems-I: 2014, a DVD with 15 short pieces, is available on amazon.
