Artist and animator Peter Burr creates videos, performances, and video games that conjure virtual spaces and illusive patterns. Burr\u2019s singularity not only resides in his mesmerizing moir\u00e9 sequences but also in his aesthetic of privileging every crisp pixel. This program features a series of single-channel computer animations extracted from Burr\u2019s expanded projects. Derived from\u00a0Aria End<\/em>, Burr\u2019s collaborative project with game designer Porpentine,\u00a0The Mess<\/em>\u00a0(2016) follows a solitary woman who is absorbed by the process of cleaning an abandoned arcology, while\u00a0Pattern Language<\/em>\u00a0(2017) uses architect Christopher Alexander\u2019s design theories to produce a self-generated labyrinth of flickering pixels. Originally created as a media performance and digital tribute to Andrei Tarkovsky\u2019s 1979 film Stalker,\u00a0Special Effect<\/em>\u00a0(2014) follows unnamed characters searching a lost landscape. Burr discusses the inspirations for his work and introduces his latest project,\u00a0Dirtscraper<\/em>, a series of iterative animations.<\/p>\n
