Daniel Crooks is an artist who works with the slit scan technique. He uses it to distort and alter what we see in the real world with some good results, which he presents as series of videos, accompanied by stills.
In this video, crooks uses his technique to create the illusion that the waves are flowing across the beach rather than towards us. This is an interesting effect which works aesthetically, however I am unsure of the motivation behind the piece. There is also noticeable distortion where the effect has taken place on low resolution footage, leaving a visible trace of where the video was edited, I doubt this was intended although it could be said to show evidence of the technique, almost like a painters brush strokes.
This example is much cleaner and more polished, the object is most likely flowers but it could be many things. Turning the object on a turntable, Crooks keeps us from ever seeing what it looks like, using time to paint a new object entirely. The movement is very subtle, making it appear almost like a still. The slowness and silence of the video, along with the lack of colour, make it much more contemplative than the other work, however, as an abstract piece I see it as not much other than form and tone, as there is not subtext given to the work or any signifiers within it.
