Sound so

Videosound sounds so and so. In his essay "Film as pure form" (1929) Theo von Doesburg regarded the film as a vehicle of "optical poetry, dynamical architecture of light", as a tool "to create a mobile ornament". The film, he continues, will achieve Bachs Dream "to find an optical equivalent to the temporal structure of musical forms."

Signal becomes sound. Image becomes sound. Sound becomes image. The eye hears "an art that should look like music sounds".
