Composition focuses on synced pattern repetition of sound and video signatures in dialogue with each other. Editing technique involves the parsing and rebuilding of these signature patterns to create a multi layered parlay between video and sound waves. Victoria Keddie (New York) Headbanger, 2015 stainless steel Headbanger composition #1 (a boy age 11) paper, ink, pencil Headbanger composition #2 (a boy age 13) paper, ink, pencil Headbanger composition #3 (a girl age 22) paper, ink, pencil The overall work involves a three-part visual composition and fabricated steel sculpture. The concept for the work is based on sleep related rhythmic movement disorder (RMD), commonly called "headbanging." Headbanging typically involves repetitive lifting of the head and forcibly banging the head against the pillow or mattress; or slamming the back of the head against a headboard or wall. This banging exercise in sleep demonstrates a violent percussion, that through ENG analysis, happens often in sequence and in somewhat "rhythmic" intervals. This work focuses on one complete round of testing involving three anonymous patients. All three cases had (RMD) with atypical headbanging, which takes various forms, such as head slapping, punching and/or banging. Having worked extensively in video and sound signal generation and signal to signal response, EMG testing methods allowed Keddie the opportunity to investigate the human variable as both generator and conductor of signal.
