MOVING SILENCE

Moving Silence is a new platform and a network for contemporary silent movie culture. Behind this name works a group of musicians, artists and film professionals based in Berlin, who are interested in bringing the poetry of silent moving images back to the present. Moving Silence creates events in order to connect the roots of cinematography with the present aesthetics of image, the live music production and the potential of new technology. The Moving Silence initiative proposes a new contemporary silent movie experience as an alternative to the overloaded with information culture we are situated in. It embraces experimentation and merging between contemporary forms of visual and sound inviting artists by different parts of the world to join in.

Interactions with Canary Islands artists will be showcased during the different events of dis-play 2010 following the basic concept of Moving S¡ilence  which is: first having a film or visual without sound and after that we look for musicians and sonic artists who will add a soundlayer. Therefore Moving Silence  proposed a program of contemporary produced silent films to Dis-play 10 for their screenings and events in Mexico City on may 29th and Amsterdam on june 4th whose Soundtrack will be composed by Canary Islands artists. In Berlin at Instituto Cervantes in July 14 and 15 we will turn this process around and let selected musicians from the Moving Silence Network in Berlin produce the soundtracks on visual material provided by Canary islands video creators.
