THE POOOL (1996-1999)

Video is LIVE with THE POOOL, bringing the immediacy of music to cinema by playing tube to digi-cams, video "stitchers" and assorted "props". On stage the audience views the transformation of visual matter being manipulated with video cameras, video effects, pre-recorded footage and live action. The members, Benton Bainbridge, Angie Eng, Nancy Meli Walker, collaborate to achieve a visual language that describes journeys through psychological states. In capturing basic human emotion of anxiety, fear, alienation, they investigate the world through delicate scrutiny.
