Film Manque (version 2)

Alan Sondheim, Azure and Foofwa d'Imobilité employing the Untitled software (http://www.asquare.org/works/untitled), designed by me in max/msp, which allows live performance with a video through voice and gesture. Below is the original text about the work:

"Original dance by Azure and Foofwa modified with video editing software and software modification by Garrett Lynch. it is a film manque, a failed and absent film, an exhausted film, a trick film with no trick, a tired and stereotyped film, a typical film - but a film which hides a seduction, which looks elsewhere just when you think it's looking, just when you think you're looking, a film which cajoles the emptiness of the image, emptiness of any image, a film which promises, destroys promises, tends towards the memory of the destruction of speech, of enunciation, a film which is just there, as a project-projection. and thus a film which speaks with a tongue, your tongue, uttering those platitudes that constitute the film."
