.::. .::. .::. [DUST]

.::. .::. .::. [DUST]

  • Mariska de Groot
  • The Netherlands, 2011
  • 12 min.

.::. .::. .::. [DUST] is an experimental animation.
Last year Mariska builded an instrument based on the principle of graphical sound invented in the '20 for the purpose of synthetic sound on film and synthesizers, where moving form and light generates sound.
The soundtrack made for .::. .::. .::. comes from recordings of this instrument. The visuals are based on several visual qualities of the instrument: objective graphical images, the wagon-wheel effect and hypnotizing flickering.

>> I would like to invite you to get a look at
http://mariskadegroot.com/portfolio/artscience/
There's shown some historical reference and some documentation of the instrument Mariska made.

>> The original film was made for a 360° round projection screen [8000x600 pixels] with 6 multichannel soundsystem, that's why it has no ordinary ratio. It's the nicest to watch it BIG, with a triplehead for example.
We hope you enjoy it.

>> I send the movie as full-hd, if selected and screened I can supply you a bigger file if needed.

Big Signal

Big Signal

  • Evelien Lohbeck
  • The Netherlands, 2012

Noise literally means unwanted sound. When many undesired signals accumulate, the wanted signal is suppressed and overtaken. But what if we tried to understand the signal as a whole rather than only focusing on the wanted signal? Noise is a big source of signals that could have a larger value which we have not yet discovered.
