시놉시스

오픈엔디드그룹의 디지털 아티스트 폴 카이저와 마크 다우니 그리고 실험영화 제작자인 켄과 플로 제이콥스가 사운드를 3D로 시각화하였다. 켄이 뉴욕 지하철 노선을 따라 여행하며 녹음한 목소리, 발걸음, 드럼 소리 등이 사운드 분석 알고리즘과 몽타주를 통해 시각적으로 변모한다. 같은 지하철 노선에서 촬영된 토마스 에디슨의 1905년 영화를 통해 과거와 현재의 만남도 지켜볼 수 있다.

  A picturing of sound in 3D.
  We hear a recording of Ken’s subway ride up to 42nd Street, his wanderings in the Times Square station, his ride downtown on the A train, and his return to street-level on Chambers Street. Finally, his climb to the 5th floor loft where Flo (Penelope) awaits him.
  Sound-as-image turns fleeting presences (voices, footsteps, a steel-drum performance) into epic visual events. A still image may linger, allowing our gaze to wander through the complex particularities of a moment of ordinary noise.
  This richness of imagery reflects the fact that for every 1/24th of a second, there are 2000 audio samples recorded. Each frame, then, is built from these 2000 sources; constructed, that is, in 3D from more than 21 different ways of algorithmically analyzing and visualizing sound. So while the sound is always pictured accurately, the way it's pictured can change dramatically.
  Past intrudes on present as Edison’s 1905 film of this very path through the NY subway appears, also rendered in 3D. Longgone passengers on the Grand Central platform connect to sounds of passengers today. Near the end, Betty Boop also puts in an appearance.
