Sync-design is a computer-based art form where sound and abstract images are composed simultaneously in complementarity. Dan Spegel will show and talk about his computer animated film Sync.

He will also give a lecture on the history of non-objective film, focusing on the work of Viking Eggeling, Walther Ruttmann, Oskar Fischinger, Mary Ellen Bute, Norman McLaren, James Whitney, John Whitney, Lillian Schwartz, Larry Cuba and Alex Rutterford.

The discussion around the audiovisual expression, has often been conducted in an undertone, perhaps because, it has fallen in between two worlds. On one hand the art and film worlds, and on the other the music/sonic field. The main aim for this project has been to find a position for the audiovisual work, on its own terms.

Today music has become a commodity. Gatefold vinyl’s been replaced by mp3s. The CD is dead. Nothing really matters.

In the middle of this world we call the 21st century we have invited some of our favorite artists and music lovers to make the ultimate mixtape.

Galleri Hangups will be filled up with colorful covers and cassette tapes. Come and experience the new old (maybe you’ll find that great tape you didn’t even know you needed).
