This program made possible with the generous
support of Dennis Miller & Northeastern University Visual Music
Special Collection, Boston, USA.
Visual Music is a distinct form of abstract animation
in which the music and moving images are inextricably intertwined,
the music often coming first and inspiring the visual action. Oskar
Fischinger, Jordan Belson, John and James Whitney and Harry Smith
are just some of the most famous practitioners but the contemporary
VM scene is extremely vibrant.
One of the more high profile events to showcase this
work in 2007 was the Visual Music Marathon held in Boston. This
event was made possible by the Northeastern University Visual Music
Special Collection which is making a substantial commitment to collecting
and showcasing this artform.
MIAF invited Jean Detheux, Canadian based VM creator
extraordinaire to single-handedly curate a Highlights collection
from the Visual Music Marathon and this program is the beguiling
result.
