McClure's self-made films are projected through multiple projectors, altering the rate of projection so that compelling light and shadow and sound effects are created. He works with the division of the whole into parts. In his cinematic equation, formal considerations are directed towards the projector where the convergence of light lines and sound evolve into an interactive play between the audience and the phenomenal apparatus -- approaching the realm of ecstatic fusing of sound and image in hallucinatory frenzy.

About the Filmmaker

Bruce McClure became a licensed architect in 1992. After experimenting with metronomes and stroboscopes, McClure started using 16 millimeter film projectors threaded with patterned film strips to lay out timed intervals of light and optically generated sound signals. His projector performances have been included in many international events including the Whitney Biennial, Rotterdam Film Festival, Image Forum (Japan) and the Media City Film Festival, Windsor, Ontario. -- www.exploratorium.edu
