The Optofonica DVD, published by 12k’s offshoot Line, presents immersive environments created by 42 artists from 13 different countries, inciting a unique multi-sensory awareness of both physical and mental (imagined) space.
Some works directly examine the slipping contours of kinetic phenomena, involving magnetism (Kanta Horio), fluid dynamics (Skoltz Kolgen), or acoustic levitation (Domnitch/Gelfand/Chartier). Others have invented an impossible phantom spatiality, stemming, for example, from brain wave interference (Ulf Langheinrich) or stereoscopically rendered interferential video signals (Bas van Koolwijk). All the pieces entail a search for hidden, transitory spaces that crosswire the perceptual spectrum.
After being presented worldwide (Sonic Acts, Elektra, Sonar, Nemo…) in the form of Surround Cinema as well as in the Optofonica Capsule (a tactile audio installation), this body of work, spanning 3 years, has been painstakingly archived, preserving as much as possible the intricacies of each composition.

On Sunday the 2nd of May, 19:15, at the Filmmuseum in the Amsterdam Vondelpark, our 5.1 surround Live Cinema performance Mortals Electric will mark the final evening of the film³ [kyü-bik film] exhibition, an exhibition that shows work by a new generation of Holland based experimental film makers, at various locations in the Westerpark.
We were allowed to pick three gems from the archive of the Filmmuseum, three short films to show before our live performance: Ray Eames’ A communications primer (USA-1953), James Whitney’s High voltage (USA-1957) and Willem Bon’s Is er overeenkomst tusschen klank, rhythme en kleurafwisseling? (Are there resemblances between sound, rhythm and color changes?) (NL-1932).
