music and joyce…sound by john cage…visualisation by reinhold bidner
this visualisation was produced for the “listening between the lines” evening of this year´s ars electronica festival05, at brucknerhaus linz, austria. muoyce (a mixture of music and james joyce) is john cages´s acustic interpretation of james joyce´s “finnegan´s wake”. the video-part is again my interpretation of what I heard and felt. I heard a lot of nonsense but I felt this makes sense….BROWN….BROWN…BROWN….UNDER THE WOODEN BRIDGE…AND THE NIGHT IS FALLING…I imagined a person falling but at the same time erecting in a static, dark image. falling and erecting in a 2min process, the world behind goes on and doesn´t care. the slow 2min falling process was made through morphs (a person falling usually takes 1 1/2 seconds…). at ars electronica festival the piece was projected on 4 screens. thanks to dietrich for falling and erecting.
