Dialogue on a Dialogue

“Dialogue on a Dialogue” 2009

An interpretation of a passage of a poet. A HD-video projector and slide projector are operated by a programming script. As the film continues; the sound of the slide carousel projector moves along with the blacked-out portions (or pauses) of the film. This audio-cue of the carousel advancing leads the audience to wonder if the image on the screen is the still image from the slide projector or the video from the high-definition projection?

Critique:

Neil Jones: What is it about?

Lizzy Brooks: Dissonance by design; sound, video, and projection seemingly can’t be compatible.

Timothy Druckrey: The media needs to blur together at a better pace so that there doesn’t seem to be a difference. I would recommend to work with the sound. By entering the installation at a later time without hearing the poem reading would lose the audience. The indistinctiveness is what makes it powerful.

Craig Kalpakjian: I would recommend “The Taste of Cherry” due to the change of basic media (film -> video).
