Turbulence Commission: "Intervals" by Peter Horvath
http://turbulence.org/works/horvath

"Intervals" explores a series of characters whose investigation of self
and identity unfold and elide through a sequence of cinematic
interludes. At once seductive and illusive, these portraits expose their
most intimate selves through accounts of lost innocence, fear of the
unknown, masculine ritual and the mystery of love. Horvath's innovative
use of pop-up windows creates a virtual collage that posits identity as
a series of random 'memory acts' that accumulate into a slowly revealing
narrative.

"Intervals" is a 2004 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, (aka
Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It was made possible with
funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
