Project "The Musical Interpretation of Visual Data by Binary"
|
I have thought seeing and hearing have a relationship between them. I executed that in cross-media through computer art. After the COVID-19 pandemic, I refrained from going out for video shooting. I recall I could download public-domain images of paintings, photographs, and films from the Web site. I thought It was an opportunity to reflect on the analog art history in the digital world. All media in human history are now reduced and recorded as binary. Cave artists found earth color, and they started painting. I used binary as a fundamental art material like an earth color pigment for cave artists. The binary data can be exchanged for other sensory data. Whether it is practical and valuable for business or not. It is a different story. I am talking about art. I like binary because it is clean. The Binary is on and off. It is empty. I can have a light mind. 21-century is tremendous changes in civilization, including in the global environment. The modern world expanded too much material desire. I disagree with the vandalism of climate activists, but I feel a kind of sympathy for their stuck feelings. Since the last century, we have made too many material artworks on this earth. Museums will not be able to store too much artwork shortly. The minimum manner by artists can do is not to pollute and destroy the global environment with garbage objects named artwork. Now we must change the aesthetics and values of the modern world. Show: Jaoanese / 日本語

私は、見ることと聞くことには、関連があると考えてきました。このプロジェクトは、コンピューター・アートとしてそれを試みています。COVID-19 パンデミックの後、私はビデオ撮影のために、外出することを控えていましたが、すぐにアートの素材として、パブリック ドメインの絵画、写真、映画等を、ウェブからダウンロードできるのに気づきました。これはデジタルの世界から、アナログアート史を振り返る良い機会でした。現在、人類史に現れたメディアは、すべてデジタルに還元され、バイナリで記録されています。洞窟のアーチストは、土の顔料を発見して絵を描き始めました。私は洞窟アーティストの顔料のように、最も基本のアートマテリアルとして、バイナリを考えています。バイナリのデータは、他の感覚データと交換ができます。それが実用的で、商業的な価値があるかどうかは、別の話です。私はアートについて話しています。バイナリは電気的なオンとオフです。物質としては空です。バイナリはクリーンで、気持ちを軽くします。21世紀は、地球環境を含めた文明の大きな変化の時代です。近代世界は、物質的欲求を拡張しすぎました。気候変動活動家の荒らし行為には、同意できませんが、彼らの行き場のない感情には、ある種の共感を覚えます。前世紀以来、私たちはこの地球上であまりにも多くの、物質的な芸術作品を作ってきました。美術館はまもなく、多すぎる現代アートを保管できなくなるでしょう。アーティストが地球にできる最低限の事は、アートワークという名前のゴミで、地球環境を汚染したり破壊したりしないことです。今私たちは現代物質世界の、美意識と価値観を変えなければなりません。 Hide: Japanese / 日本語 |

but he painted the influence of Pointillism with optical consideration.
The piano music in the video converted the binary data of colors
