Bugs'
interference pattern
video mini-dv, PAL,
colour, stereo, 07:30 min
Pixelized insects
stuck in a web of interfering matrixes, and communicating via noise signals.
Four levels of audible communication are layered: a group of birds
chattering among themselves—
(their secret language represents a code for man) ; signals from old Commodore-64
computer cassette games
(stored & marketed on audio cassette, as though they were to be listened
to, sounding like a modem);
a mother and
child interacting at the zoo ; and Kalevala rune singing,
an origin myth-telling chant from Karelia,
stretched and slowed, representing an ancient time of oral communication
colliding with ethnographers attempt to
record such disappearing phenomena, just at the moment of the invention
of recording devices.
