Subject: Drawing Morse
Dear colleagues,
I am currently involved in a collaborative exhibtion (see details below and
link). I was interested to know if there is anyone else working with different
codes or algorythmns as a basis for process based repetitive drawing. If
anyone is interested in seeing examples of some of the work for this
show please send me an email and I will forward jpegs to you.
Also if anyone is in the vicinity of Dublin or Derry please feel free to visit
the
show
Thanks
Brian
enCODEd Exhibition Description:
enCODEd is a collaborative exhibition between Brian Fay (Visual Artist)
and Donal Siggins (Composer). The aim of this interdisciplinary
collaboration is to use Morse code as a medium to examine both the
function and status of drawing as a language of communication and the
relationship of the visual to the aural. Morse code was originally
developed in 1844 by the American Fine Art painter Samuel F. B. Morse
and in February 1999 was officially declared a dead language. Morse
Code provides a visual link to work within the area of an actual visual
language that relates to sound. The code establishes an appropriate
interface to explore potential relationships between sound and vision both
physical and virtual.
The intention in the enCODEd exhibitions is to explore the many facets
that Morse can offer, these include:
<sum> That the visual and sonic explorations would be the product of the same
generative procedure
<sum> That it operated on a two value language system that could refer to
binary
<sum> It was a system for long distance communication that could alter spatial
relations and has capacity for both the sound and visual to be spatially
explored
<sum> The fact that it is now officially a dead language
<sum> That it was a low level system of order with two simple elements
dot/dash that allows for creative transformation
<sum> To develop a pictorial/sound space
The drawing element of this collaboration is produced to counterpoint the
use of digital technology in the sound work. It is comprised of a sequence
of graphite on black Blockingford Printing Paper hand drawings that
repeat a Morse Code translation of the word encoded. A sonic recording
of this word encoded was made and acts as a source for the forms and
patterns throughout the drawings Each wall of the gallery will be covered
with a drawing composed of individual sheets, that presents a single line
of 22 drawings.
A phrase or phrases in Morse is repeated throughout the drawing. These
are yet to be decided on but possibilities include different shipping
communications such as I wish to communicate with you or the first
Morse transmission What hath God Wrought or the last Irish transmission
from Valentia Island Slán libh go léir (Feb. 1999). 110 black sheets of
Blockingford Printing Paper in landscape format would be used to refer to
the elegiac nature of Morse as an officially redundant language and to
visually reference music speakers.
enCODEd opens in the Context Gallery, Derry, on 11 December 2004,
with a preview at 8.00pm, and runs until 8 January 2005. The exhibition
then travels to the Project Arts Centre, Dublin, where it will open on 21
February running until 26 February 2005.
