Contemplative Poem Film, part of the zenzonepoemfilm project. De/rematerialising concrete poetry meets spoken and visual verse. The coloured bands are determined by the pattern of the lines and the elemental aspects of sun and water seemed to convey to me the spare emotional journey of the Middle Eastern music.
A barrage of exhortations from women's magazines are interjected with the red (error) words I and Home as an error beep sounds to reflect their incongruity.
Star sounds accompany text from women's magazines, whilst a changing, de/rematerialising orb circulates through hot to cold colours reminiscent of the seasons. A contemplative poem film, part of the zenzonepoemfilm project.
I, a contemplative poem film, paralleling pixels with human behaviour harnessed to the system, yet also centres on the self, on breath and identity and nothingness as everythingness, part of the zenzonepoemfilmproject.
Patterned Utterance is a vocal interaction with a scanning probe microscope. The microscope is very sensitive to sound and where the voice creates vibrations white error blanks appear in the reading of a piece of silicon. It is an experiment in sound, where sound and visual image interact. The poem begins with normal verse construction and then in the second part it is reversed creating just a pattern of vocal intonations and nonsense sounds. The lines of text are found phrases from selected books on philosophy.
