Director Statement

For the making of #832040, I utilized the Fibonacci Sequence with hexadecimal color codes. Every 4 frames, the color as determined by a number in the Fibonacci Sequence inserted into a hexadecimal color code will switch counting up then back down with the loop being elongated each time as more numbers from Fibonacci Sequence is added. This continues to the number 832040 because this is the last number in the Fibonacci Sequence to contain 6 decimal places, so it is the last number in that can fit into a hexadecimal color code. As for the accompanying sound, all the still images of color were imported into Audacity to convert the data from the still images to sounds.

Hence, the audience both sees and hears the image at the same time. I hope to reveal the transformative elements of color, sound, and image in this piece as they correspond to the transformative nature of bodies, society, and the world surround us all.
