The graphic artists’ group, D-Fuse, sent out samples of their abstract films to international sound artists with the goal of challenging and reversing the conventional production methods of MTV-type music videos. The visual samples inspired the musicians to create exclusive audio tracks. The result of this collaboration is D-Tonate, a DVD compilation of eleven video tracks created and reinterpreted in up to five versions which can be randomly accessed by the viewer at each viewing station. Gallery visitors are invited to “mix and modify” various versions of the music videos independently with remote controls.
