The works include live action street performance of Shaun Gladwell’s Storm Sequence (2000), the digital abstractions of a nature film in Escape Spirit VideoSlime (2007) by Takeshi Murata, and the eerie and melodramatic Sed de Infinito / Thirst for Infinity (2005) by Manu Arregui which combines narration with black and white still images and digital animation.
