Doors of Reception

What does it sound like to move from one room to the other in the future? The answer has been imagined by many science fiction films – few other objects in the genre have characterised the imaginary sound of the future as strongly as automatic doors. The video “Doors of Reception” is a collage of door sounds from various science fiction films that stimulate the emergence of an abstract soundscape for moving colored surfaces.
