20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception.

“Reminiscent of John Whitney’s famous animated mandalas, Max Hattler’s work presents a hypnotic, ever-expanding and -contracting series of concentric circles.” – Sean Uyehara, San Francisco International Film Festival 2011
“Animated film as a never-ending, animated mandala pattern rotating around its central axis. In ‘Sync’, originally devised as an installation piece, Max Hattler begins a quest to discover the unchanging origin of all things. He finds this in an endless spiral and circular motion.” – Fantoche Int’l Animation Film Festival 2011
“Some really beautiful patterns, great sound design, and probable dizziness.” – thekidshouldseethis.com
“… reminds me of an abstract interpretation of Charles and Ray Eames Powers of Ten … It’s staggeringly hypnotic.” – Visual Documentary

Sync “is based on the idea that there is an underlying unchanging synchronisation at the centre of everything; a sync that was decided at the very beginning of time. Everything follows from it, everything is ruled by it: all time, all physics, all life. And all animation.” – Max Hattler, 2011, ‘Sync: Circular Adventures in Animation’ in Virginie Selavy (ed.) The End: An Electric Sheep Anthology
