Cláudia and Rafael are the duo Strangloscope. They work with new media and video in order to explore ideas about time, space, motion, and perception. Time Gap was shot in Super 8 and then it became an experiment with digital interfaces such as ipod lens with water drop as a macro effect and the film rolls and was captured again.

My current video work investigates the social dynamics driving contemporary communication. The concept of using a .gif file as a form of language, in text messaging and online forums, has become a method of ambiguous expression. There is something curious about a fleeting bit of information that repeats itself infinitely.

"Orphine actually began life in a different medium. We had multiple video projections, music and sound, sculptural forms (disembodied hands clutching umbrellas, an adapted wardrobe), an open door fixed high up on the wall, and words printed around the walls so that viewers had to circle the room to take it all in."

"The "Facial Perception" is an art of self-portrait that I recorded when I had an ischemic stroke, which resulted in a loss of my physical sensibility, particularly on my face. In some sense, it is a reactive enacment fictionalized out of my body in the state of unconsciousness."

"Take an image of a burning American flag, for example. On an instinctive level I have a clear notion of what that means: someone hates America—and feels so strongly, they have to prove it with an act of desecration."

" UPC Sex is a satire on the idea that if we allow ourselves to be manipulated much longer we may well become so much the product that the inanimate objects that were the bait, which led us morally astray for so many years, finally will replace us all together. "

"The presented piece is a wonderful relic of my studies in contemporary media. This piece came into being during a time of great introspection and learning; the learning to simply experience and feel fleeting moments, no matter what emotional value they hold, in the everyday mundane. "
