meditation001_poly-rhythmic-tempo-f3ed-wh4t-120

this is my first jitter exercise! still banging my head but a bit more happier with the results..
the objective of this exercise was to create a polyrhythmic texture.
I decided to leave a movie file playing with no interaction in the its tempo, timeline properties, but playing with rough cuts and masks on the screen. The aspect ratio of the movie file is 4:3 so I used that for my shape construction. As the rhythms beat in 3 and in 4 i've taken the beat parts and attributed a screen chunk to each, so for beats in 4, 4 columns and for beats in 3, 3 rows.
Each part (mask) of the image is only shown during a beat duration, leaving some trails behind when it is replaced by the next beat/masks, breaking the image appart in both space and time.
