The SOLST1K Project: What Is It?



It’s artistic. It’s evolving. It’s abstract. Just let your curiosity lead you through the SOLSTIK.com Web site. Look around the corners and find something intriguing. The Solstik Project is capturing images from the world around us and documenting what defines our lives. The Project also involves the creation of original music that provides vivid soundtracks for the short films available online. Photos, music, videos and writing populate the site that has become the digital experience of the SOLST1K Project.

Documentary Videos: Through the full range of contextual cues, video provides moving images in full color accompanied with resonating audio. It comes closest to providing the sensory information that we use every moment to understand where we are and what is happening. The SOLST1K Project captures the power of video and distributes it online for public consumption. We’ll take you where things are happening and uncover the stories and images that define our time.

Photos: Static images help us capture specific moments in time. They are permanent and can tell a story in lucid detail or puzzle viewers with abstracted compositions. Either way, the 1,000 words worth of information in each photo is captivating and brings site visitors closer to the subjects the SOLST1K Project is covering.

Music: Soundtracks carry with video and photo slide shows to represent emotions and add meaning to the media we create. Music fills the soul and expresses the innate feelings that bond humans to their spirits. The SOLST1K Project values the creative process that brings sounds together to make music and shares the results of the process for others to enjoy.

Writing: Language allows us to transfer meaning from senders to receivers in a way that enhances our collective understanding of the human experience. The SOLST1K project takes great care in providing the written contextual information necessary to bring together a coherent site that informs, enlightens and entertains visitors. There’s no need to read between the lines. We mean what we write.

SOLST1K.com is here for you to explore, so indulge in the lush media offerings and crisp digital displays. These remarkable times of accomplishment and hardships have added unprecedented layers to the world’s paradigm, and the SOLST1K Project has emerged to share one perspective among the six billion that must coexist on this planet.
