Sisters With Transistors

Lisa Rovner / United Kingdom / 2020 / Czech Premiere / 82 min.

synopsis

A great lesson on irreplaceable, female visionaries in the development of electronics during the twentieth century. Imagination between poetry and technology. Satisfaction for artists whom the world has only appreciated in recent years: Daphne Oram of the BBC radio laboratory; Pauline Oliveros, who coined the term "deep listening"; Laurie Spiegel, whose music flies through space and time on the Voyager Golden Record, and many others.

An introduction of the programmer of the Siren test section, Pavel Klusák:
