SOUND PAINTING

Title: Interstellar Undertow
Medium: Vibration (waveform acoustics of gravitational waves from a black hole spiral) and oil paint on panel.
Dimensions: 40”H x 60”W
Year: 2023

Acoustic signal waves are applied to the paint panel surface and using the noēma pieces as a painting instrument, they are dipped in paint and placed atop the panel. The acoustic vibrations carry them across and what emerges are visible patterns created by resonance. Once dry, these paint patterns serve as visual guides to hand paint connections to reveal larger formations of sound made visible.  Images & video below.
