David Fodel & Brian Kane – Signal to Noise (untitled analog #8)

Date: 
02/06/2009

An immersive audio visual environment exploring the surrogate sensory perceptual systems implicit in the recording medium. Originally performed live during a recent residency at the Experimental Television Center in New York, Signal to Noise is a series of multi-channel audiovisual installations which induce alternating currents of sensation, approaching our perceptual field from the perspective of signal processing and the subtle states of consciousness we share with the natural world.
Three related looping sources are set in motion. Of differing durations and composed of visual and audio material which has been time and pitch shifted, the sources drift in and out of phase with one another, creating an ever-changing audio visual composition.
