Metatron
On the evening of August 6th in Beacon NY 24 animated shorts will be projected onto the facade of the Electric Windows Building. Each animation will be inspired by one of the pieces of art on the building.
I had the great pleasure of animating the artwork of Buxtonia, created by Garrison and Alison Buxton. It was a huge honor to be a part of this. Unfortunately, the projections had to be cancelled because of the weather. They're trying to do a re-boot with your help.

Here is the artist statement about their original artwork: Garrison Buxton: We have been working with a figure, Metatron, for a while now. Metatron is typically depicted as a eye with wings. The Electric Windows piece is going to have a small flock of Metatrons flying up on the horizon with rays and shapes of light emerging from behind.
In the loosest of senses, Metatron is the messenger of the divine, translating the beyond-human transmissions to be human-comprehensive. I believe we are all Metatrons, our own divine messengers, and that we all transmit this divine information to our selves and each other. When we are still and listen to that part of us that existed before we can remember existing, the knowledge we seek is there. We are all self contained enlightenment, divinity, god, whatever you want to call it. How to illustrate that is the never ending pursuit. It has become important for us to focus on sending positive transmissions. We aim to send a net positive charge into the matrix. The grid is cracking. It needs all of our help. This piece depicts the strength of coming together and building something with a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
I loosely based my animation off of that. It begins with Metatron flying away, the Wall Street thieves have raped our country and are spewing their lies & hate. Nobody is fighting back. Metatron returns to save the day, bringing a higher consciousness to all and spreading enlightenment, hope & love.
