During my Masters at Parsons in New York (MVA Design & Technology) I wrote, shot and edited a stop-motion animation called "Arc". It tells the story of Arc, a lonely creature who lives in the horizon, where she keeps all our secrets safe until they're ready to be released. Her dawn ritual of burning secrets creates a brilliantly glowing smoke that breaks through the darkness of night, marking the beginning of each new day with a bright blue sky. But this all changes when more secrets are shared than were originally kept. Until only true secret remains: her own.

The story is inspired by a culture upheld by secrecy. A secret is a noun, but it is defined by action. So when does a secret become a lie?

Arc's name has several meanings. 'Arcanum' is latin for a deep secret or a mystery. 'Arcana' means specialised knowledge or detail that is mysterious to the average person. An ARC, in digital terms, is an archive of files. And with her home suspended just below in the horizon, she inhabits the greatest arc that connects us all: the curvature of the earth.
