Description

19 Universes/my brother is the latest in a series of videos in which Baldino explores advanced scientific concepts, including nanotechnology and quantum particles. The screen is divided into nineteen shifting strips of video, each portraying Baldino's brother, a musician, as he plays rock and roll guitar; the soundtrack is layered correspondingly. The result is a disorienting composite portrait that explores the phenomenon of parallel universes.
