Drawing and Painting Sound


part 1


Painting Data 


Ligatus


University of the Arts London, Chelsea School of Art.. 


The paintings are both data files and multiples where each separate frame of the animation can be paused and printed either as an editioned digital print or a data file. With over 60000 frames to choose from each data painting is a sharing opportunity.


During the printing stage Gino recorded the sound of each printer as it printed each print. These recordings were translated into individual image files, printed to produce a suite of prints titled "Recordings"

The human creation of viruses presents enormous challenges for the future of humanity especially when used for control and the destruction of Others. Just as fleas spread bubonic plague humanity can do the same.


MIMI Virus


Big fleas and little fleas

Blood sucking. parasites

Preying, leap frog

Killing and hunting

Cheating and stealing

Unlocking the gates.

Invading streams,

Interacting chemical reactions

Explode defences.

Resistance, tears, mucus, skin

Isolate identify and track

Violently flowing, global infection.

Big fleas and little fleas.

Paralysing “movement”

Dividing silently.

Infecting systems.

Multiplying Power

Each a leaping and

whispering Death.

Book of Sounds

Fine Art and Textile Sounds, Chelsea School of  Arts, Gino's "Book of Sounds".    Created for Ligatus a research centre of the University of the Arts London with projects in historical libraries and archives

Gino made a series of works in analogue and digital format with the intention to use the experience of sound to code, analyse and store thus linking sight and sound as collaborative data signals, to share as translations of organic and inorganic sound. He used indian ink to paint visual drawings of those heard sound.

 
Gino Ballantyne worked with Artivity since phases one and two, working with Inkscape and Linux. He produced a significant body of work for these phases including work developed inside the fine art studios of Chelsea College of Arts when a visiting artist. A development led to his contribution to Bookmarks XIV.

He further researched and developed this work as Visiting Artist with the Glasgow School of Art "Drawing and Painting Sounds Part 2" and Resident Artist at the Royal Conservatoirre of Scotland "Drawing and Painting Sound Part 3"

Gino wrote about his experience using "Artivity" in JISC
