Warm Jets is an exploration of scale, synthetics and fantastical landscape. Inspired by early science-fiction cinema and contemporary virtual environments Warm Jets offers a whimsical journey into alternate worlds created by everyday materials. In Warm Jets, a fractured reality of different "sites" exists.

Other Info: The disorienting illusion of place expands or condenses three-dimensional space, and is suggestive of the unreality within reality. Creating environments from beads, cotton, and many strange shapes of plastic, a playful and mechanical realm of productivity emerges. Using great shifts of scale, the viewer moves between the extremes of traveling through the clouds, to being submerged in a microscopic world of dots. This film attempts to recreate the feeling of weightlessness one feels when watching television, using the Internet and even flying on a plane. The sound design for Warm Jets consists of beeps and blips taken from the telephone and other mechanical communication noises. These sounds are the background noises heard throughout our own space- the hum of the computer, the beep of a phone. In the realm of Warm Jets, they are intended as a microcosmic "listen" into a space that exists in our own world, but perhaps one overlooked or somehow obscured.
