A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.
Felix Hess is a unique crosser of the boundaries between science and art. He wrote his doctorial thesis on the aerodynamics of the boomerang
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Percussion used to explore the social construction of space

Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
