This experimental film provides an emotional roller coaster experience that was musically and visually designed based on a neuroscience research project that correlates a mathematical parameter (fractal dimension) of sounds and images with the selective triggering of emotional states.

My aim was to challenge the traditional division and break down the barrier between between Science and Art to create a unique visual and audio experience of time perceptions and emotional dimensions. My three-year journey in research has revealed the deeply rooted biological connection that the human brain forms with complex images, sounds, and music.

Michelle Marquez, Producer and Director
In collaboration with Patrick Gregory and music of Lincoln Mitchell

Video shot with drones for aerial photography to capture images with a special camera converted to use Infrared (720 nm). I blended those images with original music I created “mathematically” to direct this film.
