Field at Chisenhale Dance Space presents
La Cellule d'Intervention METAMKINE
Jérôme Noetinger, electro-acoustic sound
Christophe Auger, film projectors
Xavier Querel, film projectors
Through the magic of mirrors, multiple projectors and highly ingenious live
on stage editing, Metamkine produces and directs a new film with each of
their performances. Working around a core narrative, they spill eddies of
impromptu vignettes, accompanied by a live soundtrack of tape fragments and
ancient synthesiser sounds. These, three collaborators, who have worked
together for ten years, have succeeded in pushing the boundaries of film and
soundtrack into the realm of live performance - Utterly unique.

METAMKINE
La Cellule d'Intervention METAMKINE is an open-ended group including
musicians and filmmakers researching the relationship between image and
sound. Since 1987 different concepts have been carried out and performed in
festivals, galleries, cinemas and contemporary art spaces, in France,
Europe, Canada, USA, Japan. Since 1995 they have developed collaborations
with other groups or artists like Nachtluft (Switzerland), Kinobits
(France), Loophole Cinema (England), Tom Cora (USA), Le Cube (France), la
Flibuste (France), Voice Crack (Switzerland).
It is Noetinger's work with the pioneering multimedia performance group,
Cellule d'Intervention Metamkine, that best exemplifies his capacity to fuse
highly disparate art forms. Their work ethic is a far cry from the trendly
multi-art events that are currently mushrooming in the capitals of Europe.
"In multimedia events", he says, "you've got images and sound alongside one
another, but there's no real relationship between them. Our work, on the
other hand, is an interactive process: the music and images are created
simultaneously, and if you were to listen to the music on its own, there
would be something missing."
A Metamkine performance is a concentrated and intense affair: equipped with
the barest essentials, a mixing desk, two Revox magnetic tape recorders and
a couple of korg synthetizers, Noetinger improvises disparate
electroacoustic sounds that mirror the dreamlike, evocative film images
produced by his two associates, Xavier Quérel and Christophe Auger. Their
work methods are as crudely effective as those of Noetinger: they apply
chemicals to their films on stage, play around with the film speed or with
colour filters and place prisms in front of their projectors. "All three of
us are on stage just like a group of musicians", comments Noetinger. "The
projectors are like instruments and each of us reacts to what the others are
doing."
