Description
CITYSCAPES is a program of 4 videos by Norwegian artist HC Gilje presenting urban images from numerous international cities. His collages recreate the universal spirit of urban life, capture its frenetic and poetic energy, and seduce with original sound assemblages.
"A landmark not only white but polychromatic in the history of visual and sonic forms"
— UPSTREET
"H.C. Gilje has succeeded, by means of this revolutionary graphic programming technique combined with traditional video techniques, not only in pushing research on abstraction further than ever before, but also in becoming a true virtuoso of digital video, in the musical sense of the term."
