Project Description: 

Timetracks is a work where video images that show passage of time are printed on slips of paper. Generally, it is difficult to print video as it is because printing devices have narrow bandwidths compared to video devices. In this work, a part of each video frame is arranged chronologically to form a print image, which is then continually printed on a rolled paper.

Masayuki Akamatsu has produced many works in media art that employ computer and networking facilities, focusing on the relation between an artwork and the audience and the autonomy of an artwork itself. His works include: "incubator" (2000), which projects audio-visual events with fifty computers; "Time Machine!" (2002), which visualizes the audience's experience of time in real time; "Flesh Protocol" (2002), which controls the performer's body with a computer.
