Fans of films may find Chladni Scheme especially interesting thanks to its engaging atmosphere, visual presentation, and entertainment value.
This film was shot in Super16mm, but is projected in regular 16mm. As such, a portion of image off screen to the right is reproduced as sound. It is a composition, an arrangement, but not one that is from seeing to hearing, or the other way around, but a composition for both of these senses at the same time. Its point of departure is a Frankenstein-like thought experiment by Emil du Bois-Reymond, wherein he postulated that, if one were to cross the nerves of the eye and the ear where they enter the brain, the eye would hear lightning as a loud boom breaking the silence of the night and the ear would see thunder as a bright flash of light in the darkness.
