soundw(e)ave Soundw(e)ave: Loom Series is composed of three woven sound spectrograms. Each piece represents the sounds of a different loom while weaving - a handloom, a hand-operated Jacquard loom, and a fully automated industrial Jacquard loom (on which the series was woven). This work is intended to explore the fundamental nature of digital media. As all information that is input into a computer becomes a string of code, anything that can be digitized (i.e. a sound) can be output in a completely different form (i.e. a visual image). This transmutability of information in the digital world initially seems to be in opposition to the ways that humans experience the physical world. Neurological conditions however, such as synesthesia, allow for the realization that very often the human brain does, in fact, operate much like a computer. In this series the process of hand-weaving is used primarily to investigate the experience of what happens to our senses when confronted with an increasing exposure to technology. |
