The Storycollector is a narrative led animation about a character called Blake created through a number of different process led methodologies. As the artist i collected observations, objects and photographs of the world, weaving them together to create the secret life of objects and memories in the form of a live motion graphics performance. The work reveals a set of actions, a narrativity and a history outside of perception. The jigsaw pieces demand narrative interpretation, activate memory, search the mental database and compares structures to give rise to a periodically shifting map of shared cultural meaning. The act of collecting becomes an analogy for the act of VJing and the connecting process in understanding. The story writing process a way of organising the fragments of the world into sense making patterns. The work is a look at procedural practice: using rule based stragegies and process methodologies.
