526 W 26th StProjector performance for (3) modified 16mm projectors, two of which are fitted with metal plate inserts and all are threaded with patterned film loops (one 'clear' base frame to five 'black' emulsion frames). Sound is provided by the optical properties of the banded film loops as they pass before the exciter bulb creating signals that are processed by guitar effects pedals.
STRUCTURE is derived through the division of the whole into parts. In my cinematic equation formal considerations are directed towards the projector where the convergence of light lines and sound potential evolve into an interactive play between ourselves and the character of this phenomenal apparatus. Film, meanwhile, is the cinematic server, carrying meaning by shear presence. Looped, the film strip depicts zero, an absence through the division of space into an inside and an outside. Perforated, the looped film strip and sprocket holes are an analogue of frames metering out time during mechanical dispersion. In the performance pieces included in this program I have dislocated the homologous relationship between sprocketed frames and the projector's rotational timing by deploying vacant frames into clusters of emulsion closed onto themselves. Instead of the hegemony of the film frame I propose recognizing the integrated structures of projection by making the distance between the optical axis of the main lens and the sound projection lens as primary. This interval is then divided by its integral factors resulting in a series of seven banded loops of periodic light events.
