Void Contemplation Tactics is an ongoing series of guided meditation videos combining video art, heavy mellow music, and readings from Zen teachers. This initial six episode sequence from 2020 features excerpts from the ongoing White River, Slow Flow project.

The kaleidoscopic images in each video are made from multiple overlapping slow motion videos of Prairie Creek Reservoir and sections of the White River in Muncie, Indiana. I captured the video in the late winter and early spring using a phone camera and a DSLR equipped with a macro lens.

The 20200330 installment features “Witches Brew” from the the 2020 PJS album Precipice. PJS is the electronic music project of Patrick Dique and Jordan Christoff. “All sounds created live with synthesizers, field recordings, and effects,” they tell us. “No computer sounds, screens or presets present during the creation process.”

This meditation practice is rooted in the Zen tradition, and informed by my time as a resident of the Indianapolis Zen Center, where I practiced “together action” with dharma teachers John Melvin, David Culp, and Lincoln Rhodes. Today’s meditation includes an excerpt from Zen Master Seung Sahn’s Compass of Zen (1997).
