An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”

Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
