USA, Narrative, 2001, 35mm, Color, Magnetic Stereo, 00:10:45

A single violent incident becomes an apocalyptic catalyst in the lives of five prep school boys, disfiguring each emotionally. The incident also serves as the springboard for the unorthodox fragmented structure - developed not as a single narrative axis, but instead, like an orchestral score - with different parts of the same story radiating out of a single point. The “Coda” of the title, is, in music, a final passage bringing a composition to a definite, formal close. In this film, the “coda” occurs not at the end, but at the beginning of the film – and serves as both the catalyst and the resolution. ... more info

Everything reduces to data mapping and information design. The only hard question is why we do either. I never got past a fascination with numbers, a desire to write songs, a desire to make pictures. All is number in the computer. I take numeric models and see what songs and pictures they will make. How can I map numbers to the senses—turn numbers into a tangible experience? Then I wonder how the senses map to each other. I map the maps. Sound to image—a visualization. Image to sound—a sonification. In mapping numbers into sensory experience, aesthetic decisions are made. What palette of colors to use? What set of pitches? How long? How big? The artist chooses.
