8-bit evaporation from the flying O.H.N.O. twins on Vimeo.
In “8-bit evaporation”, 5,500 tinted ice cubes were used as “pixels” to create the iconic Super Mario Bros cloud. It was then encouraged to melt and was recorded in HD. The resulting video was sped up, compressed, reversed and looped. The soundtrack are two audio files sampled from the original Nintendo video game that were sped up, slowed down and overlaid.
