In this exploration of Synesthesia, a green monochrome monitor pulses, curves, and ultimately burns into waveshaped chaos. Occurring as a series of five thirtysecond audio visual experiments, Blommaert’s evolving graphical abstraction literally plays with how we see sound gestures — whether it be an 8-bit ping pong game sound effect, orchestral tuning, or the algorithmic throes of generative minimalism.

Against a plain, unchanging blue screen, a densely interwoven soundtrack of voices, sound effects and music attempt to convey a portrait of Derek Jarman's experiences with AIDS, both literally and allegorically, together with an exploration of the meanings associated with the colour blue.

A creation myth realized in light, patterns, images superimposed, rapid cutting, and silence. A black screen, then streaks of light, then an explosion of color and squiggles and happenstance. Next, images of small circles emerge then of the Sun. Images of our Earth appear, woods, a part of a body, a nude woman perhaps giving birth. Imagery evokes movement across time. Part of the Dog Star Man series of experimental films.
