Countdown, 2017, video component.
In Countdown a flashing 3-digit numeric sequence continually revolves:
5 5 5 — 4 4 4 — 3 3 3 — 2 2 2 — 1 1 1
The projected sequence forms a cyclical and modulated pattern that
slowly drifts in-and-out of sync over the span of five minutes (the 3-digital
sequence is off-set @ 59, 60, & 61 beats per minute). Anticipation and
anxiety builds—and at the same time—a strange lulling or numbness
occurs. Will this eventually lead to a detonation or perhaps a launch of
somekind? On goes a rather pleasurable yet disorienting continuum.
