LLOYD DUNN : PAREIDOLIA 55033 FORTY

Pareidolia is a cycle of experimental films and sounds in three parts, from the file cast project nula.cc by multi media artist Lloyd Dunn (US/CZ). Dunn is working in machine-based media since 1980's. He studied multimedia and electronic music. In 1987 he co founded the Tape-beatles, who did some early experiments with sound recording and expanded cinema performances.
This third and last part of Pareidolia is like a melancholic poetic essay on the idea of gravity and weightlessness. The beautiful Russian soldiers song ("Эх, дороги, ekh, dorogi" and is a song of a battle-weary soldier on a long march) seems to underline this lightness, but stands at the same time for the heavy and dark life on earth. Lloyd Dunn describes Pareidolia 'as a puzzle that elicits ideas of moving, changing, becoming, perceiving, and responding, that subjectively touches on cosmological and historical themes along the way.'
