Halcyon Atmosphere, by Shane Mecklenburger
Shane Mecklenburger received his MFA in Film, Video, and New Media from SAIC in May 2009.
“Halcyon Atmosphere is a video made from found digital 3D models of guns I downloaded from the Internet. The guns were originally made for shooter games. I have repurposed the guns into softly falling snowflake-like configurations. It is a 9-minute looping HD-DVD for installation or single viewing in a theater.”
