What is Second Hermeneutic about?
In Second Hermeneutic, the visuals are created by a pair of graphic animated films projected so that they partially overlap, the animated bands and fields of color linked audibly to the soundtrack in an immediately synchronous way – as something appears on screen, there is a directly audible response. This sound emerges from his use of the video camera’s visual output run through his audioboard to the speakers: it is an analogue sonification of the video signal. As a purely audio-visual experience, the performance might seem similar to such early expanded cinema works as Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface (1975) where a series of four film projectors overlap their frames, creating juxtapositions and combinations on screen – as in Second Hermeneutic; however, the difference is instantly apparent in the performance itself – the soundtrack emerges from the interaction of projected imagery resembling the bands and bars of an optical soundtrack, but with the addition of saturated color. The story is brought to life by director Michael Morris. With a runtime of 9 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
