MIXTUR 2019
Program
The Sounds of the World is a thirteen channel audiovisual installation built on a network of Raspberry Pi computers and created from a series of Andrei Tarkovsky film clips.
The installation explores the concept of audiovisual sampling, in which real-world images and sounds are cut, mixed, manipulated and reassembled in order to generate new audiovisual materials.
The name is taken from this quote by Tarkovsky, who wrote: “I feel that the sounds of this world are so beautiful in themselves that if only we could learn to listen to them properly, cinema would have no need of music at all.”
