Program:
woowaaaditeeeer by āññā duo
This film by āññā (Anqi Liu and Han Zhang), considers the balance between clinging and letting go. The piece features playful, fleshy creatures exploring a marsh, sharing a quiet, almost uncanny resonance — tracing journeys of play, dreaming, and caregiving into meaningful structures.
āññā is the collaborative duo of long-time partners whose practice is shaped by fluid improvisation and ritualistic processes grounded in their closeness and humor. Their film woowaaaditeeeer asks: “how do you dissolve in the environment? You go in and devote every atom of you.” Performed in a shady stream, the duo plays with sounds triggered by DIY touch and light sensors, leaves, water, movement, and inflatable figures that mirror their own beige bodysuits — creating a fluid improvisatory impulse driven by feelings and intuition.
Music of Spheres by Sarah Belle Reid
In a film that is part surreal performance film, part imaginary expedition to an unknown planet, Sarah Belle Reid creates a sonic world inspired by Johanna Beyer’s unfinished opera. Composed in 1938, Music of the Spheres is one of the only surviving fragments of Johanna’s work and is the first known composition scored for electronic instruments by a female composer. Using trumpet and synthesizers, Sarah performs the notated score of Music of the Spheres, framing it with an improvised prelude and postlude that imagine how the unfinished opera could have sounded.
Sound House by Janie Geiser, John Eagle, Cassia Streb, and Hsuan-Kuang Hsiech
Sound House, a sound film inspired by the technicians who maintain immediate launch readiness of 400 Minuteman III missiles positioned throughout the Great Plains of the US.
In the film, Sound House (everyone is working), tasks such as checking guidance systems and repairing security systems are replaced by sonic tasks: brick laying, improvised live-feed video, manipulating two Bunraku-like puppets, and arranging eight modular sound walls. The puppets and performers fill their time memorizing instructions, practicing launch procedures, playing games, reading, and napping, which creates an effect of tending and focused activity. Meaning emerges through accumulation, concurrence, and patient observation.
