In a series of demonstrations, sounds are transcribed as visual reports: Hands sketch quick graphic notation alongside computer-generated patterns—rendered strokes, torn forms, the alignment of colors and edges—to link the action of listening with the action of seeing. Layer by layer, techniques and metaphors for direct and computer-aided sensation are added. Translation and interpretation are made ambiguous, flickering between human and algorithmic observation; the activities of recognizing, modelling, and predicting viewed as musical forms.
Visionreport was first performed within the program “Hallucinations” at the Greek Film Archive, as part of Documenta 14 in Athens, June 2017.
