The p.ma project comes from the need of creating a new approach to video, cinema and interactivity.

One of the main aims of this project is exploring the mistake and the error, analog or digital, by machine or by men.

It starts with the Super 8 Series, a result of the relationship between image and sound, musician and filmmaker. The awareness of an entity standing beyond narrative leads creating a certain degree of tension between representation and conceptual attraction, a relationship that triggers an entirely visual cinematographic experience, different from person to person. There's an (un)conscious psychological manipulation that rises from the insubordination of the composition. From the defiance of repetition and rhythm, there's hypnosis coming from the direct manipulation of the frame created with expectations of visual residues.

Super 8 Series where already present live with the projects: Lodo (Lobster + Dopo), Katsumoto and Panda Bear (Animal Collective).

The time now is to explore the concept of video feedback with analog tools such as video mixers, color correctors, obsolete cameras, video generators and monitors. This new approach explores visuals created by the loop signal coming from an optical and electronic reciprocity.
