Live webcams can be considered masters of the longue durée, the extended shot in filmmaking. They stream a constant flow of events occurring in front of their lenses, from a street corner in Tokyo or a coastline in Dorset. Can such streams become cinema — or something referential to it? Elin Aspfors uses data recorded on webcams, such as movement and colour, to trigger sounds. Through this process, the image becomes the score, and the soundscape is generated by the unpredictability of the moment. The balance between ambient and diegetic sounds, combined with the events on screen, invites viewers to lean into the environment and highlights the passing of time. Each webcam produces a unique soundscape that deepens perception of the image.Listen︎︎︎

Temporal Rhythms
Temporal Rhythms invites you to listen to a room’s ambient soundscape through cassette recorders, where magnetic tape transforms everyday sounds into a continuously evolving composition. Embracing imperfection as texture, the work highlights the tactile and temporal qualities of analog recording, revealing authenticity and beauty within the flaws of sound.2025
Videolab
Videolab explores analog and experimental filmmaking through a Sony DCR-HC18E camcorder. Although the camera records digitally, it stores footage on analog tape, offering a unique set of limitations and possibilities. The project approaches these devices with curiosity rather than nostalgia, uncovering new forms through earlier cinematic methods. By embracing the qualities of tape recording, it challenges the pursuit of sharper, clearer images and values artistic expression over technical precision. Guided by a manifesto, Videolab follows strict criteria: filming exclusively with the camcorder, keeping footage on cassette, and creating new experimental videos through performance-based scores.2024
