To Touch With Your Eyes
Various directors, USA, China, Japan, 2020-2021, 76 min
May 10 - 16
Forging new paths through virtual and tactile worlds, this dazzling collection of short works offers unexpected insights into old institutions, communion through simulations, and reflections on the pain and joy of visibility.
Everyday we use and apply our senses, most of time without much thought. Within our techno-isolated society, blocked by AirPods and noise-cancelling headphones, we rarely get the chance to enjoy a common sonic soundscape. As a student of sound, I propose an experiment, exposing the audience to a world of sound recreating texture, depth, color and space through sonic visualization. This sonic space will begin to act as an exercise to zone in, isolate and expand certain sounds, giving the audience the freedom to see the sound of their choosing with their ears. Furthermore, the sonic story itself will run like a movie, creating a canvas for the viewers imagination and interpretation of the sounds. The ear is a particular sensory channel as it consumes areas we can not see or touch, and I hope that this will paint pictures much farther than one could’ve imagined.
