Visible Bits, Audible Bytes presents a series of talks and a concert of experimental film and audio-visual works that champion the soundtrack and explore the relationship between sound and the moving image.
An afternoon seminar brings together three of the UK's leading practitioners to discuss their current work in restoring, creating and performing audio-visual works - Dr Joseph Hyde, Bath Spa University; Dr Mick Grierson, Goldsmiths College University of London; Dr Louise Harris, Kingston University.
This is followed by a concert screening of works, curated to demonstrate the historical legacy of sound and image practice, bringing contemporary works and those from the BFI archives together in a diverse and rich programme.
The concert screening will feature both live and fixed-media works from all three visiting practitioners and will also present the film In Absentia, by the Quay brothers, made to accompany the music of the composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. The event has been curated by the Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre (De Montfort University), in partnership with Phoenix.
The afternoon talks are free and will take place in the Courtyard Rooms between 3-5pm. The concert screening will take place in Screen Two from 6.30pm.
Call the box office on 0116 242 2800 to reserve your free place on the afternoon seminar.
