Precursors of "Querläufer"
(Development of the project)
Early in 1996:
"One minute of time" - Topic of the basic video seminar. Going through the raw material I noticed it was of no use. Some test recordings with a macro lens look surprisingly interesting instead in the editing suite. Result: A one minute experimental video.
Later:
100 succeeding single frames (that is 4 seconds) from that video are piled up on top of each other in the computer - dark areas become transparent - and so the flat images become a spatial cube that can be rotated in 3-d space. This was meant to be the model for a holograph. I got the idea to cut the cube back to planes in a different way...

Somewhere 1996 or 1997:
seminar with Mathias Neuenhoffer and David Larcher, introduction into the the digital editing suite. In an experiment with material from the "good machines/bad machines" project week a system develops to make time cuts through a sequence of images visible.
The moving clip from the interview leaves trails where it intersects with the two crossing planes.
