Phil merges new and ancient technology by weaving tapestries generated from digital designs, artifacts, and glitches. In his film SNY/ACK, Phil uses hacked hardware to translate network traffic into a sonic and visual tapestry. Isolated lines of computer code multiply to create complex visual and aural patterns. If it seems raw, that’s because it’s meant to be as raw as possible—no effects, minimal edits, just the network code revealing its hidden aesthetic.
