Music in the Air

Overview

In a live double-16mm projector performance, Scott Stark feeds gorgeous Kodachrome found footage—from a 1950s promo doc about a fabled teen music camp near Stockton CA—into his propeller-driven projection system to generate a transformative visual spectacle. Using two reels of film, the on-screen image alternates between the left and right projectors, transposing objects onto bodies, landscapes onto buildings, sidewalks onto swimming pools and subtle musical movements onto frenetic explosions of color.
