CODE{ctu}, 2014 - 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 is performed with dancers interpreting the sounds.
Supported by Senator für Kultur Bremen.

“.ctu_isbtm” is a work complex consisting of large glass works and arrangements of smaller glass objects and images. A scientific paper provides viewers with information about their histories. The paper is rewritten for each exhibition, with all editions to be published as a book after ten exhibitions. Visitors engage in exploratory movement while tracing relationships, histories, and emerging narratives between them.
