check

check is a fixed-media piece for xerographed film completed in July 2013 at Dartmouth College. Inspired by abstract film-phonography experiments, it explores the sonic potential of juxtaposing two geometric patterns with black and white frames. check was created by xerographing collages of printed patterns onto strips of clear 16mm film – a process that was chosen after a few experiments with hand-made film. The result is a three and a half minute film, where xerographed collages are animated and directly translated into an audio signal by a 16mm projector.
