Shot in the heart of Minato, Tokyo, the video echoes the opposing waves of industrial and romantic movement, juxtaposing relentless mechanisation and the more organic waves of video feedback, a process which is not easily controllable. From beginning to end, the relationship between man and machine is referenced.
The audio piece is driven by the source file percussive chain noise repetitive, but affected by various repetitive processes, accompanied by a romantic response to the notion of the ferry, its civic role and inspirational context. The waves of romantic string sounds are triggered by - and ebb and flow in response to - timings from the chain pulse. The dominance of the industrial and romantic elements themselves build and subside over the duration of the piece.
The VoxBox project opens up questions of experience, perception and remediation.
We aim to bring together a selection of artists from a wide range of disciplines to remediate a single source material, and to place their results alongside one another in an exhibition.
