(Material Immaterial #2)
SEA 404 is inspired by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Seascapes series and French philosopher Jean Baudrillard’s essay The Vanishing Point of Communication. It raises questions about the contemporary conditions in which media mediate our immediate experience and parallels Sugimoto's observation that media has changed the way we see the world.
The sudden entrance of everyday noises into the picture underlines the transition from the distant horizon to the world of the nearby spectator.
Note: the first part of the film is silent.
SEA 404 的靈感來自日本攝影師杉本博司的海景系列和法國哲學家尚·布希亞的文章〈The Vanishing Point of Communication〉它提出了當代現況的一個問題，即媒體調解了我們的直接經驗，並與杉本的觀察相類似，即媒介已經改變了我們看待世界的方式。
日常噪音的乍然入畫，強調了從遠方地平線到近處觀看者的世界轉變。配樂是根據連續三十天每天早晨在同一時間和地點進行的現場錄音製作的。
註：影片的第一部分無聲。
