Exhibition Overview
As both a visual artist and musician, I am fascinated by the transitions between media—attempts to convert and translate actions through one medium to another. This project continues my ongoing occupation with the relationship between sound and image.
In this body of work, I convert drawings to sound, and vice versa, using software that is based on an old cumbersome machine from 1940s Russia. The software makes it possible to obtain a visible image of a sound wave. It also synthesizes a sound from an artificially drawn sound spectrogram.
