Tactile Light Diary
Touch replicated through audiovisual means.
Fabric structures exposed and magnified.
Textiles dance over microphone and screen.
Images burst to the forefront.
First a beach, then an unclean pool.
Summer slips into fall.
Details are forgotten or misremembered.
The retained memory of tactile objects.
8mm film presented with an asynchronous soundtrack.

Callon Murphy is an amateur filmmaker and software developer currently residing in Kitchener, Ontario on unceded land. His work blends personal memories and formal experiments through various DIY digital and analog techniques. Delivered with sparse sound design and typically without narration, Callon's films and videos deal with the falsity of image-making, the futility of technology, and historical subjectivity.
His films have screened at festivals around the world including Obskura (France), Engauge (USA), Winnipeg Underground Film Festival (Canada), Experimental Superstars (Serbia), FUSE (Croatia), Fisura (Mexico), and Suspaustas Laikas (Lithuania).
