CINEMA AURICULAR

NEW AGE VOLTAGE: CONTEMPORARY DIGITAL SOUND AND VISION
Barbican Prompt Cormer ­ Wednesday 17 October 2001 ­ 6pm

The sounds of the analogue versus the digital, burning a cathode ray hole direct through your retina. A video programme of recent audio-visions from Vienna and other painfully modern assemblages from UK, France and Canada. Having broken sound and image down to its constituent blips and pixels, these contemporary filmmakers are reconstructing matter in beguiling new ways.
