Mark Graver – Forty Four Sounds

 

Digital print, HD video, sound installation

June 4th – June 30th

Forty Four Sounds by Mark Graver

A text based, print, video, sound installation .  The text was arrived at through a random selection of previously chosen words and phrases. The soundtrack was then composed from samples of forty four found sounds.  There are 44 frames/prints and the video lasts for 4 minutes and 44 seconds.

The work and its process references Dada poetry and sound and the chance compositions of John Cage.

The work can be realised in a number of formats.  The main feature of the Art at Wharepuke show will be an installation of 44 digitally printed text panels with the video available to view on an digital screen.

The work has previously been exhibited in an outdoor sculpture park as a print installation and in the Pushing Print exhibition in Margate, UK as a print related video work.
