Steve Roden: ‘This film is part of a joint project between LACE and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Artists were given access to the Joan Brown Fluxus collection and archives. I used a score by Jackson Mac Low that originally appeared in a book of scores and concrete poetry called An Anthology, edited by Mac Low and Lamonte Young. Mac Low’s score states: “The text on the opposite page may be used in any way as a score for solo or group readings, musical or dramatic performances, looking, smelling, anything else &/or nothing at all.’ I created a simple instruction for each of the 93 different characters that appear in the score (letters, numbers, punctuation marks and symbols) and used the score to generate a film work, a sound composition, and a group voice piece – all compressed into a film and its soundtrack.” ’
