Rose Butler is a video artist and lecturer of Fine Art and Contemporary Media Art at Sheffield Hallam University.
My two favourite works of hers are One Lime Street and Platform. I find video art very difficult and in general I avoid it, however I really like these pieces.
One Lime Street is a series of parallel journeys in the glass lifts of the Lloyds building. People enter and leave one of the six lifts. each journey is filmed from inside the film and has the background buildings and horizon locked in position. The result makes the lifts travel past the screens.
Platform was filmed at Blackfriars Station ans sychronises three screens of commuters in the station. Using tracking and stablizing software the frame is manipulated to become, creating an animated black wipe across each frame of the screen.
