簡介/Synopsis

在華特‧施羅德‧林姆1977/1978年之「辯論」一作之中，我們可以看到在技術可能性上所做的觀念性的實驗手法。出現在影片中的是一些與「特勞勃竊聽案」相關的新聞節目之片段，此案最終讓當時的內政部長麥荷佛下台。在此他使用音效器和影像合成器抽象化聲音和圖像的軌跡：圓圈、橢圓和稜角，以及錯誤的顏色、減低色調、塗抹效果都被用到其中。獨特的影像拼貼於是形成，部分初始素材甚至已經被異化到認不出來。

Walter Schröder-Limmer’s work“Debatte”(Debate) from 1977/1978, conceptually keen to experiment, points to the technical possibilities inherent in video as a medium. It shows clips from news programmes dealing with the “Lauschaffäre Traube”, a scandal concerning surreptitious electronic surveillance which led to the involuntary resignation of the then Minister of the Interior, Maihofer. An audio effects device and a video synthesizer were used to abstract sound and image tracks: circles, ellipses and edges appear as well as miscolours, a reduction in tonal value and smudging effects. The result is a unique video collage in which the original material is, in parts, adulterated beyond recognition.
