Synopsis
The Great Divide was created for collaboration with Japanese artist Katsuyuki Hattori which was performed live as part of a video concert.
The work is composed of video footage of the Arlington Bridge which sprawls over the often debated train yard and grain transportation depot which segregates the North End of Winnipeg to the inner city.
This work, Besant’s first attempt at generating audio from video, was inspired by the geometric form of the bridge and essentially this work has become something of a tutorial on the sounds generated by contrast and movement, and yet the overall feel of the piece seems to reflect the uncertainty of the politics and disjointed debate to move the train yard out if the city.
