The direction, editing and computational graphics in 'Get Go', “perfectly encapsulate the sense of melancholy euphoria at the center of the record," Parks explains in a statement."It's about the dance floor as a means of healing, understanding yourself and discovering your relationship to love."
The protagonist, threading both in and out of the crowd, as participant and observer, blends with the colors and pixels of the digital space. The work was created using custom programmed software, which distorts time and space, blurring motion, color and architecture. Harkening back to nostalgic textures and color, 'Get Go' depicts both the feeling of being one with strangers on the dance floor, and that of looking from the outside in.
