‘Cosmic Echo’ by David Mahler depicts the flow of energies and by extension the element of consciousness through space, celestial bodies and forms of life. Presented as an infinite loop moving between the micro - the human eye - and the macro - a theoretical vast well of consciousness at the centre of the universe - this piece aims to present the cyclical nature of reality. The first half of the film depicts abstracted representations of creation, before flipping, reversing and playing out the inevitable destruction.
David animated this piece using a mixture of mediums, including spray paint, digital animation, traditional animation and film.
Hey, my art fIlm Cosmic Echo will be screening every night over the next month at Signal in the Melbourne CBD! Here’s some info about the project and me :)
David Mahler is an artist best known for his vibrant, abstract art films, animations and paintings exploring human consciousness, connection and spirituality in a digital age. A University of Melbourne VCA BFA Film and Television graduate, his short films have screened at international film festivals from Canada to Russia, and he has most recently been commissioned by the City of Melbourne to partake in the 2017 Signal Screen Arts Commission. Inspired first and foremost by nature - from the micro of plankton and atoms to the macro of the solar system - Mahler’s art aims to lull viewers into a state of trance through pattern and colour.
