Bradley Hyppa is a San Francisco based artist whose work explores the relationships and meanings of the spaces we find ourselves in, and acts upon these spaces with video in order to instill new understandings of these spaces. The videos, consisting of melodic patterns composed of rendered distortions, contractions, and expansions between background and foreground, reveal an oscillation in the visual field. They signal not a definitive meaning, but rather point towards a feeling of presence escaping perception, denying a conscious translation. Here, along with the artist, the viewer may consider alternative narratives about space communicated by the impressions afforded from a distribution of sensation sequenced by the experience of color and form.
