In and Out of Synch
Aura Satz, 2012, UK, 16mm, 20'
Collaboratively scripted and voiced by Aura Satz and Lis Rhodes, this film focuses on analogue technology teetering on the brink of obsolescence: soundtracks printed onto filmstrips as optical sound. The flashing abstract visual patterns are produced by the soundtrack: they are an image of the artists’ voices encoded as light from both 16mm mono and 35mm stereo optical sound cameras. The two voices alternate overlap and coincide, interrogating the sound-image synchronicity.
