Electronic Linguistic

1977 · 4 min

A hypnotic, abstract stare into pulsing pixels and sound, more like watching a signal breathe than following a story.

Directed by
Gary Hill
Overview
The work’s images appear as visualizations of electronically generated sounds. Initially, small pulsating pixel structures occasionally appear on the black screen. These monadic forms become larger, ultimately filling the picture plane and pulsating ever more intensely.
