Description
»Interpolation« consists of ten short video films showing everyday scenes: »Entropy«, »Order«, »Watch«, »Aphasia«, »Interpolation«, »Jargon«, »Duad«, »Motive«, »Lux«, »Access«. With fast cuts and cross-fading effects, as well as the option of real-time and synchronous editing of images and sound, Kit Fitzgerald and John Sanborn present everyday routines of an average U.S. citizen — preparing breakfast, sitting in a chair, everyday life at the office — as events located between social determinism and the desire to shape one’s own life. The sonic level of many videos is striking. The editing follows an acoustic logic, a rhythmic composition emerges from everyday sounds.
Kit Fitzgerald and John Sanborn are among the representatives of experimental video art of the 1980s, who tested a wide variety of video editing techniques and explored the boundaries of music and performance. During their collaboration, which lasted from 1976 to 1982, they produced a series of works that thus oscillate between video art and experimental music videos.
