Film screening – Electronic Flora: Through the Seasons
11.00–17.00
In connection with Färgfabriken’s spring market, the film Electronic Flora – Through the Seasons by the art and music duo Lerin/Hystad will be shown in the project rooms at Färgfabriken.
Electronic Flora – Through the Seasons is based on recordings of electrical activity from a birch tree recorded throughout the four seasons. The electrical signals from the birch is transmitted through a modular synthesizer and dictates melodies, notes and rhythms in the music. The electrical signals also provide cues for video editing. Each season is also portrayed through detailed graphite drawings.
