Uri Hasson
”Neurocinematics: Where Neuroscience Meets Filmmaking” in Collaboration with Spiral Cinema
Uri Hasson is known for his study of the correlation between eye movements and brain activity. Recently his work with film has been motivated by the need to understand the ways in which audiences’ brian patterns function. He has found that certain films will produce nearly the exact same patterns in each of the audiences’ thoughts.
Using a machine known as the fMRI, Uri Hasson has his subjects lie in tubes and watch movies, while their eyes are tracked to see which part of the movie they’re watching. Then he determines people’s visual responses to a) random footage, b) artworks (video art), c) documentaries, d) commercial films, e) Hollywood blockbusters and f) propaganda to see how film makers totally control people’s visions.

This “boozy and beautiful pilgrimage to an iconic American ghost town” shot as three different films is joined together by the central setting of Memphis, Tennessee and the Arcade Hotel. Featuring a Japanese couple that take a tour of Sun Studios, an Italian widow that sees the ghost of Elvis, and Joe Strummer holding up a liquor store, this film is directly related to the bar culture in which it is screened.

Joining the likes of Easy Rider and Vanishing Point this film is known for its minimal dialogue and documentation of Route 66 culture in the early 70’s before the interstate hi-way systems conquered America. James Taylor and Dennis Wilson (also the drummer from The Beach Boys) star as two drag racers that make their living by challenging local residents to races. Along the way, they encounter a young girl hitchhiker and challenge another rich car driver to a race to Washington, DC.
It seems nearly too obvious at this point to take a road trip and listen to the likes of The Doors, Kris Kristofferson, Chuck Berry, and Arlo Guthrie. Yet there is something about those bands that blend in perfectly with the sunlight filtering in through the windshield and the “anything goes” attitude of their time. Revisiting this structure of the road trip soundtrack, Justin Kelly had this to say about his new mix, “Traveling to me is partly about repetition, since this film happens mostly on the road, I found it fitting to make a mix of original electronic music.” In creating new standards for road trip soundtracks, can things such as acoustic guitars and catchy chorus hooks be eliminated in lieu of subtly shifting waves of sound that filter through the windshields just as appropriately
Musical interpretation by Chris Day’s project Vlonde for the 1987 film Aria. Screened at the Windup Space on January 4th through Spiral Cinema.
