Not Still
Billy Roisz AT, 2008, 10', SD video
Sound: dieb13 & eRikm
The source for the pictures and sounds is a vinyl record. Initially, a sample dominates: the scratching of a record player needle in an endless loop. While the viewer remains stuck in the hypnotic electronic soundtrack, Billy Roisz shifts massively enlarged photos of spinning record grooves from the dark into the picture. Various types of cameras, including a coarse-grained microscope camera, has been used to "illuminate" the record (often declared dead) by truly forcing her way inside it. By means of artistic manipulation and in interplay with technology’s industrial expiry date, Roisz evokes the sense that analogue sound and picture carriers still have long to go before they breathe their last. Not still. (Petra Erdmann)
