EG SERENE is freely available software by Barbara Lattanzi. It is based on
the 1970 film, "Serene Velocity", by the artist Ernie Gehr.

EG SERENE is available for the improvising of digital video in real-time.
The software adopts and "open sources" the structure of the 1970 film as
the basis for temporal reconstruction of your own selected digital videos
in quicktime movie format.

EG SERENE derives from the 1970 film "Serene Velocity" its over-arching
time structure in which perceptual events emerge out of the incremental
alternation of the two halves of a bisected passage of film. With the
software interface, you are able to continuously vary selected time aspects.

How does this software relate to the work of Ernie Gehr?

In Gehr's "Serene Velocity" the filmic image is made to resonate in
sympathetic vibration with the perceptual engagement of the viewer. And
this becomes the basis for the EG SERENE software: to explore video
playback for resonant frequencies by means of the temporal-reshuffling
algorithm.
