“Film students, academics and obsessives with time on their hands may use Dawes's grids to postulate new theories about the language of film.”
— John Walters, The Guardian
Cinema Redux creates a single visual distillation of an entire movie; each row represents one minute of film time, comprised of 60 frames, each taken at one second intervals. The result is a unique fingerprint of an entire movie, born from taking many moments spread across time and bringing all of them together in one single moment to create something new.
Since its creation in January 2004 Cinema Redux has been featured in two MoMA exhibitions in New York: Design and the Elastic Mind in 2008 and Action! Design Over Time in 2010 (running till January 2011).
Cinema Redux was acquired for the MoMA permanent collection in 2008.
