Two minutes of hand-constructed haze from a Vimeo guy with nine likes. Respectable. Boring.
A two-minute material study with Brakhage and Jodie Mack in its bones, but the page reveals little beyond a self-uploaded sketch with single-digit likes. Technically interesting, programmatically thin.
A 1:57 hand-constructed mist piece tagged Documentary/Experimental with just 9 likes is a fragile-but-pure object — Vimeo gives me almost nothing else to verify against. I'd watch it for the materials process, but at under two minutes I can't tell if Quinn has built a Brakhage-tier flicker piece or a moodboard.
