"Filmachine" by Keiichiro Shibuya und Takashi Ikegami, scan from the transmediale.08 program booklet

filmachine' places the visitor inside a vortex of sound and light that transcends the traditional perspective of the cinematic experience. Three circles of loudspeakers are suspended from the ceiling above an abstract landscape. On entering the space, the visitor starts the composition with a button at the center of the piece, triggering an immersive audio-visual experience in a 3-dimensional soundscape, enhanced by a specially designed LED lighting system. For the exhibition in Berlin, Keiichiro Shibuya creates a new composition which is presented here as a world premiere. It is based on research of complex systems and makes use of cellular automata and logistic maps for sound synthesis, ‘filmachine' was developed and premiered at Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM), Japan in 2006. 'filmachine' in Berlin is the work's international premiere.
