Mayfest: Scanner - Warhol's Surfaces
Multimedia Performance...
For this project Scanner takes interview material with Andy Warhol from the early 1970s as the starting point for a soundtrack which attempts to take something very ordinary and make it extraordinary.
In answering a series of simple questions, Scanner has dug around inside the material to bring out unusual acoustical moments expressed in Warhol’s choice of words, his breathing and his pauses between words. Dissolving the words, he transforms the artifice of Warhol’s voice and interview technique, and explores the eloquence and omnipresence of the idea of boredom which surrounds the pop artist.
