Danica Maier – Score (5 min clip) – https://youtu.be/wdvLhlGFKXI
‘Score: Mechanical Asynchronicity (Score: MA) is a collaborative project between visual artist Danica Maier and composer Martin Scheuregger. The project takes a single historical lace draft from the Nottingham Lace Archive as the starting point for new live and installation-based visual-musical works. This lace draft would have originally been used to programme a mechanical lace machine – it is, in essence, a set of graphical instructions.’ (Maier)
