>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.
