What is really the power of the voice-over? What is the relationship between a voice-over and the politics of an image? We intent to reflect on the different roles the voice-over has in contemporary art. Together, in collaboration with theorists and artists, and taking some examples from H.Farocki’s work, we will develop a critical phenomenology of the senses and of the uses of the voice-over in contemporary video.
