I found myself engaging with the work differently than I had expected. In Cardiff's <em>To Touch </em>I was as enraptured by the performance of my hands across the table as I was with the elaborate soundscape. Initially, I was least intrigued by this piece based on the previews I'd seen, but I found it to be my favorite, as I kept going back to it several times.<br /><br />With "Peg Mirror" I was actually more intrigued by the sound of the rotating pegs than the visual pleasure of seeing my silhouette reflected in such an unusual way. I would stand as close as I could, to the point where the image was completely indiscernable, but where the pegs were in constant motion. The sound reminded me of a soft but persistent rainfall on grassy earth.<br /><br />Generally speaking, the pieces that didn't have that kind of "vertical" element of perception were less intriguing to me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5050670573982719887-5638412519908463861?l=bischof2film202.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15224675268268501791noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050670573982719887.post-6532388287706607372008-10-01T07:52:00.000-07:002008-10-01T07:53:43.266-07:00I plan to follow the Oxford journal <em>Screen</em> for the remainder of the semester.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5050670573982719887-653238828770660737?l=bischof2film202.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15224675268268501791noreply@blogger.com1
