White.Box


A/V performance for a tryptic of HD video screens and quadraphonic audio

White Box is a work based on a new way of generating A/V compositions in real time and is a new piece in a cycle that began in 2003 with Black Box. This cycle metaphorically transposes, into sound and images, concepts from systems theory related to black, white and grey boxes.

Romance.Sentimentale



The film is a short, experimental, slightly poetic montage of city and abstract images. Eisenstein's contribution seems to have been the soundtrack which demonstrates his theory of "contrapuntal use of sounds" or the attempt to find a common denominator between sound and image. The sound for Romance Sentimentale is drawn directly on the film's optical track and is the first instance of the
use of this technique. This was not intended as a materialist film statement; it was rather an experiment towards an integrated film language.
While the film's images are cursory, it retains historical importance as an experimental film predecessor and as the first sound film made by Soviets, even if not in the Soviet Union.

Filmstudie



by Hans Richter in 1926.

Les.Astronautes




Made in 1959 by Chris Marker and Walerian Borowczyk. Ostensibly, it deals with a scientist's flight into outer space where, among other things, he spies on a young woman (Ligia Borowczyk) on his way up and later even saves a small spaceship from attack by a larger one - only for it to destroy his own vessel, which plummets back to Earth!
