About work

This video (slide show) contains 22 446 images of various hues of blue. Each image represents one frame of video. Each image is defined by a different hue of RGB blue and is used only once. Each hue differs by one point. The system for selecting RGB colour hues was set up so that with the highest possible number of different hues the difference from the basic blue hue (R0, G0, B255) was the smallest possible. Each image is allocated a number according to its colour composition, the sequence is then governed by these numbers. The soundtrack used is an effect enulating the sound of a videorecorder in stop mode. The aim was to crate what at first glance appears to be a static/empty video (blue screen) but contains a huge amount of "information".
