CODE

CODE, 2018

“CODE” is an exhibition on a vinyl record. Side A features bits of Byrke Lou’s glass sculp- tures “ctu_isbtm“ through the artist’s sound generating system “.fa“. The system scans the sculptures via a live video feed. Brightness information from the video defines how
a soundsample is sliced up and recombined in a 4d virtual space. The result is a new sound, which is determined by the surface of the sculpture. The B-Side of the LP contains the recording of a live-coding-session using these new sounds. The vinyl inlay features images of the video feed data and words by artist AGF Poemproducer. The work can be performed with dancers interpreting the sounds and exhibited alongside the glass sculp- tures. Supported by Senator für Kultur Bremen.
