Rival Consoles, tapped multidisciplinary artist <a href=\"https:\/\/anthonydickenson.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anthony Dickenson<\/a> to create a music video that plays with a sense of perception and reality\u2014especially the distinction between analog and digital processes.<\/p>\n<p>Dickenson employs a range of photography and film processes in his practice, focusing predominantly on nature and portraiture. For the &#8220;Soft Gradient Beckons&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_zBbiFohlC0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">music video<\/a>, he dove headlong into a nine-month experimental process, creating multiple, long paper scrolls with hand-painted frames in black ink. He then animated these by documenting in a sequence akin to the way film is fed through a projector.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rival Consoles - Soft Gradient Beckons (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_zBbiFohlC0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The video above features the complete music video, followed by a revealing making-of segment that delves into Dickenson&#8217;s labor-intensive process. <\/p>\n<p>His installation &#8220;reflects the intricacies and dedication of the creative process,&#8221; the artist says in a statement. &#8220;The result is both a visual and emotional journey, seamlessly blending art and music into one cohesive experience.&#8221; Using cameras attached to a drone and a skateboard, he captures distinct details and patterns while also panning out to see the entire grouping arranged carefully on a warehouse floor.<\/p>\n<p>The concept originated from what Dickenson calls a &#8220;mistake&#8221; that occurred when, a few years back, he was experimenting with making monoprints using ink rollers. He had a realization that little blemishes or so-called defects various textures from the roller actually lent themselves well to animation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes the mistakes are the bits that really reveal new techniques,&#8221; Dickenson says. &#8220;I love these little moments of imperfection.
