You are listening to a 360° photographic representation of the manipulated interior of Art-at-Endhouse in Deventer.

The interior of Art-at-Endhouse was used as source material in an audiographic work, created especially for a solo exhibition at that location. By playing with present graphical elements (such as doors and windows, radiators and a huge crack in the wall), and adding targeted manipulations, accents and effects, a rich texture is created. Using software it is possible to read this like a musical score.

The software captures the graphical properties of the room and allows us to listen to it like a composition. Image becomes audio. Audio becomes image. You look at sound and listen to what you see. This sensory interdependence results in a complex creative process, in which the tension between autonomy and symbiosis of both sound and image is researched.

The observation of this installation is layered and not immediately fully accessible. The layers are parallel worlds, each with their own rules and approach to reality. Although individually readable, they are inseparable and they influence each other. They are self-made ​​residues, alluding to their parallel counterpart.

Parallel Counterpart can be seen, streamed and downloaded 24 hours a day in October/November 2013, through the windows of Art-at-Endhouse and a URL on the facade. Please note that although the use of a smartphone may seem obvious, the sound quality is not optimal. To get all the details it's advisable to use good headphones.

Parallel Counterpart

13, 14 and 15 June 2014: Kunst van Hier tot Ginder, a really nice bike tour with art, theatre and music on special locations in Salland.

I used the landscape behind Katerstede Harm Ros in Dortherhoek (Bathmen) as raw source material in a new audiographic work I created especially for this occasion, entitled ‘Parallel Counterpart II’. The graphical elements present in a selected cutout of the landscape can be read like a musical score with the help of software. You’re looking at sound and listening to what you see.

Parallel Counterpart II is somewhat derived from another installation I made earlier: Parallel Counterpart.

Many thanks to the family Kloosterboer for their hospitality!
