These recordings will be unique and come with their corresponding source material, the wood on the other side of the vinyl record. There will be an edition of 10 completely unique records. If you are interested in preordering one please send me an email to traubeck@gmail.com. Price: 400 Euro per piece.

 

The CD edition of Years containing 7 recordings of the installation done in early 2012,  limited to 500 pieces  is also planned to be released in the second half of 2012 on Eat, Sleep, Repeat. They will be available through their website, Cargo Records distribution or directly via me.

Year ring data is translated into music, 2011.
Modified turntable, computer, vvvv, camera, acrylic glass, veneer, approx. 90x50x50 cm.

A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently.

Afterwards they are taken down and fixated with a spray. Thus the images are being generated in that precise timeframe by the surroundings they are exposed to.

The Din A4 format reproductions were printed according to an automated schedule.

The printing machine is the only agent at the venue, the curators only submit their selection to the machine in order to have it printed. Thus the curation is manifested by mere mass of reproduction and a lack of explanation thereof. It is an approach to shifting the recipient’s perspective on a product (the artwork) by bluntly creating an overwhelming presence of the image of that product, very similar to the basic workings of the value of presence in advertising. This tries to contradict the stigma of devaluation by reproduction introduced by Walter Benjamin. We think that by copying a work, the idea of the work gains more authority, and therefore the work itself, holding the origin of the idea is increased in its value. By producing reproductions we try to shift the people’s focus to the original idea (not necessarily the original artwork), reinforcing its authority and authenticity rather than defacing it. Thus reproduction is a tool for manifesting our selection in the recipients’ memories
