there is a pretty sick olafur eliasson collabo at the gallery these days. it is a musical instrument that takes the sound information and visualizes it through some drawing machine. it's basically a big guitar string with a movable pole that divides it into an interval and each note of the interval has its own individual pickup. the left and right pickups then get translated into x- and y-axis motion, so there is some relationship between the velocity and pitch of each and the shape that's drawn. anway, yeah, this is a blog that i set up for the gallery and it has lots of ill pictures and videos of the machine in action.
check it out in real life at tanya bonakdar gallery
