Animation and music by David Sananman. A foray into abstract animation involving hand drawn imagery and computer processing. I am interested in the interaction between creator and tools. I draw these images full of color, shape and line, and using interpolation techniques I can get very interesting results with this process, recycling these into the production.

Flyer has been screened in the following film festivals since 2009:

Sopivan Animation Festival in Helsinki, Finland
Columbia Gorge Film Festival, Portland, Oregon, USA
Filmideo, Index Art Center, Newark, NJ, USA
Torino Flash Festival, Turin, Italy
Eye Candy for Strangers, Brooklyn, NYC
Animation Block Party, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn, NY USA
CoLab Arts Film Festival, New Brunswick, NJ, USA
First Order Projections, Alfa Gallery, New Brunswick , NJ, USA
CoLab Arts Presents: Bassem Hassan & David Sananman, New Brunswick, NJ, USA

It also it has been exhibited in the following gallery shows:

"The Video Show", Raritan Community College, Bridgewater, NJ, USA 2011
"Multiversal" at Art Basel Miami Beach", Miami, Florida 2010
"Don't Look Now", Index Art Center, Newark, NJ, USA 2010
"Lumen_EX", Caceares, Spain, 2010
"Art Lines", Alfa, New Brunswick, NJ, USA 2009

Visual music by Bill Alves. www.billalves.com

Aleph was inspired largely by the geometric patterns of Islamic art, an art derived from the same proportions and numerical symbolism as the tuning systems of the ancient Greeks and Byzantines. In this music I have adopted similar just intonation systems, as well as intricate and slowly transforming patterns of pitches and timbres. Writers such as Keith Critchlow have connected the arithmetic symbolism of this art to the Arabic language and alphabet, the first letter of which, aleph, is a single vertical stroke. This stroke represents the descent of light, the "creative ray which initiates existence." From this simple division follows the expansion into creation, and the connection of all people to the cosmological rhythms of number and pattern.
