Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Relative patterns of occlusion and exposure occupy two screens. Each exposure fires a stroboscopic flash of colour: yellow for one screen; blue for the other, filling the centre of both screens with colour, haloed with after-images.
