In this double work, abstractions of light travel across and into the sounds and space created by artist and composer John Cage. While intended as a unified work, the piece must also be considered as a joining of two discrete works, each of which stands on its own. One¹¹ is a composition "for solo camera man." Cage writes: "One¹¹ is a film without subject. There is light but no persons, no things, no ideas about repetition and variation. It is meaningless activity which is nonetheless communicative, like light itself, escaping our attention as communication because it has no content to restrict its transforming and informing power." Of 103, Cage writes: "103 is an orchestral work. It is divided into seventeen parts. The lengths of the seventeen parts are the same for all the strings and the percussion. The woodwinds and the brass follow another plan... Following chance operations, the number of wind instruments changes for each of the seventeen parts." When these two works are played together, the title becomes One¹¹ and 103. (The 11 must be written as superscript, and the full title must be italicized.) The piece was premiered in this manner in 1992 at the Cologne Philharmonie, by the Radio and Symphony Orchestra of the WDR. This video version was supervised by Cage.
