"Instrumenting, my body as a sensor, I walk through the city. The sensor is placed at the level of my heart and records periods of weightlessness. The walk is filmed such that the sensor data can be synchronize with the filmed footage. Two films are created by separating the frames by weight. Akinetopsia contains only weightless moments. The film is black (with sound) except for flashes of weightlessness. “Akinetopsia” is a neurological condition which prevents individuals from seeing motion. They are left seeing only moments of stillness."
