Blink:MPLS/ST.PAUL is a video piece exploring the Twin Cities in an attempt to see them in a new way. Using 3 second video clips and a five frame break between each one, we see bits and pieces of the cities. Some images may be familiar and some may be new, but the point is that all of them are parts that make up the area. From mansions to factories the cities carry very diverse imagery and this video aims to explore it and take notice of our surroundings. The video aims to bring viewers in with its rhythmic pacing and repetitive sound so the viewer is somewhat entranced by the images. Filmed over a single day driving around Minneapolis and St. Paul, the video attempts to shed new light on a city familiar to many. Made by Casey Cayko.
