Visual artist Satz often concentrates on sound and acoustics. Her recent video-works all share a media-archeological approach. Old musical automata face the first grammophone cylinders and the Theremin is contrasted with a unique filmmachine for synthetic sound. /+/+/+/ Spiral Sound Coil (2010) is an immersive psychoacoustic installation. Automamusic (2008) looks at self-playing instruments such as the pianola, wind-up music boxes and organs and was filmed at the Museum of Music Automatons in Switzerland. Theremin (2010) is part of a series of videos characterised by their unusual sculptural fit in relation to their performer. Sound Seam (2010) uses microscopic close-ups of gramophone grooves and the anatomy of the ear, while the accompanying music includes wax cylinder recordings and otoacoustic sounds emitted by the ear. Oramics (2011) is a homage to Daphne Oram, pioner of British Electronic Music and creator of handwrought, drawn sound. Vocal Flame (2012) is a sound sculpture made using a Ruben's Tube, an acoustic device that visualises sound as a standing wave of small flames, with music by Steven Severin (Siouxsie and the Banshees).
