Infinite Delay | 2006
"A restrained subject surrenders to a sublime state of waiting in a mysterious underwater world." -Sundance Film Festival

Infinite Delay is an experimental film short that features mesmerizing underwater visuals with a breathtaking, immersive soundscape. This swirling pool of interrelated sounds and imagery features an original score with processed signal paths by Kadet along with artists mem1, a collaborative venture between Laura Thomas-Merino and m.cera in which sounds generated by extended cello technique are manipulated using custom software built in Max/MSP.

Infinite Delay is a film about the sublime nature of consciousness. It explores the subtleties of tension that exist between surrender and resistance through an unconventional, experiential narrative. The captivating underwater images of a restrained subject present a dialectic - possibly depicting someone who is being forced to wait, or alternatively representing a subject actively engaged in the erotics of waiting. The voiceless figure in this mysterious subterranean world investigates how renunciation could be an affirmation of power and a means of absolute embodiment. The sensing body in its inaction surrenders itself, and all questions of identity and placement are dissolved into a virtual suspension of absolute definition. The result is a blurring of lines - between the inner and outer world, self and other, and past and present.
