Film of Sound

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Will Luers, Roger Dean

Electronic art video and interactive works generally prioritise image over sound; this is also the case in commercial culture at large. In Film of Sound, however, sound was chosen to be the initiator – sometimes even the driver – of the text and visual processes at work in the piece. Three collaborators involved are Will Luers (video composition), Hazel Smith (text) and Roger Dean (sonic composition).
