Identical twins separated at birth, sound and vision were rudely
torn apart at the moment of the mechanical reproduction. . Edison
had wished it otherwise… \"All movements of a person
photographed will be exactly coincident with any sound made by him...\"
he proclaimed in 1891. However technical difficulties ensured the
twin\'s separation. Though reunited in the 20th century and after
Jolson inseparable, terrible damage to the relationship had been
done. Film though never really silent (its presentation always in
some way accompanied) saw itself as a primarily visual medium, whilst
the ventriloquist phonograph that could speak without moving its
lips accustomed people to sound without vision.
five times table is a compilation of five short pieces by Philip
Sanderson that seeks to create a new audio-visual dialogue, an equation
of the senses in which the visual is sonified and the auditory is
sighted.
BIOGRAFIA DOS AUTORES: Since founding Snatch Tapes
in 1981 Philip Sanderson has been working with sound, film, video
and installation. He has screened and exhibited widely, both in
the UK and internationally, and released a number of CD\'s. One
of the threads running through all of the work has been a questioning
of the relationship between sound and image and an attempt to create
a new dialogue between the senses. The most recent pieces use a
combination of the latest computer based algorithmic generation
and soinifcation techniques together with processes, which have
their antecedents in the earliest days of filmmaking. Currently
Philip Sanderson lectures at Birkbeck College and has previously
been Director of Camerawork Gallery, Chair of the London Filmmakers
CO-OP and a contributor to publications such as Art Monthly.
