Interestingly I have re-commenced working 'live' with film through a
series of works titled "Cinematic Events". These are mainly based upon
sound/noise, produced directly by the ostensibly 'imageless' film
material (dust, fogging, abrasions, splces etc.) or through other types
of intervention (fogged film projected onto the optical head of an
adjacent projector, live sound to match the occasional clear frame
within a black loop) and most successfully (which I presented at the
launch of NowWhere) of a piece of clear film with framelines streched
out from the projector to the screen which drags a piezo transducer
(contact mike)plugged into the projector, along the ground until it
jams the projector.
Hope that's of interest
Rob.
