AUDIO + DIGITAL IMAGERY - VERSION 2.0

Dale Lloyd's Palim_genesy uses the field recording files provided by koura in version 1.0 as its basis. The new work contains reworkings of 18 of koura's original sound files and manipulated digital photography.

By applying the palimpsest concept at every conceivable level, Lloyd has created a body of work that is stunning in its adherence to the "rules" of the exhibition. Not only has he erased the sounds of the original field recordings and overlayed them with his own material, but he has also "erased" entire files in the series in a seemingly random fashion. Everything, even down to the file names, has been approached with a sophisticated level of precision. In addition to the field recordings, Lloyd has also added a new aspect to the work by obtaining source photographs from koura's original recording session and subsequently erasing and overlaying them with his own visual work.

AUDIO DERIVED FROM DIGITAL IMAGERY - VERSION 2.0

Chris Randall's essay_thirty is a rule-bending take on alessandra's series of digital photographs. Instead of working with the images in a visual context, the artist has converted their visual information into sound by recording and amplifying the radio waves emitted by his computer's hard drive as the files were accessed. The subsequent composition has little in common with the soft, repetitive aesthetic of the original pieces, yet conveys a similar sense of a captured moment in time which the photographs embody.
