Colorful Colorado Nails

Directed by Monica Panzarino

This work was inspired by Phil Morton's classic 1976 video, Colorful Colorado, as well as Panzarino’s first artist's residency at Signal Culture’s new studio space in Loveland, Colorado. Panzarino processes footage of a drive through Rocky Mountain National Park using Signal Culture's Wobbulator, Jones MVIP Eurorack module (an analog video synthesizer), and Maelstrom software app. The footage is then chromakeyed onto Panzarino's green screen-colored nails as she works with the tools in Signal Culture's studio. This video captures the transformative quality of Colorado's natural beauty and stunning landscapes while guiding viewers through a portal from analog to digital image processing.
