Collaborators since 1996, David Chesworth and Sonia Leber’s project for Melbourne Now is a large-scale high-definition video set in the former headquarters of the Age newspaper on the corner of Spencer and Lonsdale Streets in Melbourne. Speculative and archaeological, We are printers too explores ideas around communication, featuring a sonic palette including morse code, recordings of typesetting and telex machines, percussionists, the sound of a voice struggling to speak, and deaf/blind people ‘talking’ in sign language.
