  • Physicality of the Analogue by Duncan Robinson BFA(Hons)
    Physicality of the Analogue by Duncan Robinson BFA(Hons) Submitted in the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. 2 Signed statement of originality This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, it incorporates no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgment is made in the text. Duncan Robinson 3 Signed statement of authority of access to copying This Thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Duncan Robinson 4 Abstract: Inside the video player, spools spin, sensors read and heads rotate, generating an analogue signal from the videotape running through the system to the monitor. Within this electro mechanical space there is opportunity for intervention. Its accessibility allows direct manipulation to take place, creating imagery on the tape as pre-recorded signal of black burst1 without sound rolls through its mechanisms. The actual physical contact, manipulation of the tape, the moving mechanisms and the resulting images are the essence of the variable electrical space within which the analogue video signal is generated. In a way similar to the methods of the Musique Concrete pioneers, or EISENSTEIN's refinement of montage, I have explored the physical possibilities of machine intervention. I am working with what could be considered the last traces of analogue - audiotape was superseded by the compact disc and the videotape shall eventually be replaced by 2 digital video • For me, analogue is the space inside the video player.

Grande Nef du CAPC L’exposition If Everybody had an Ocean a pour fil conducteur la fascination qu’a exercé Brian Wilson, le mythique compositeur des Beach Boys, sur plusieurs générations d’artistes. Dans cette exposition, sa vie et sa musique sont un prisme à partir duquel on peut relire les développements de l’art depuis les années 60, en particulier dans sa relation à la culture populaire et au contexte social et urbain de la Californie. L’art devient aussi le moyen de reconsidérer les contradictions qu’il y a entre l’image populaire et lisse des Beach Boys et l’ambition musicale complexe et géniale de Brian Wilson. En se concentrant sur des oeuvres qui mélangent Pop Art, peinture abstraite, Minimalisme et Art Conceptuel– un phénomène récurrent dans l’art de la Côte Ouest – l’exposition questionne implicitement la pertinence de ces catégories historiques.

    Lumi Two Tears in Water Biography “Art is derived from our Living existence but it's in fast forward mode” Lumi Engage with the sounds of Lumi. They ooze talent, shout out meaning, acoustically they personify perfection and visually they could have been taken from the catwalk in Milan. A divine combination served to you on a metaphorical plate so chic you will fall in love at first sound. Lumi originates from the French word Lumiére which means light. It projects enlightenment and the significance of brightness into lives which can sometimes seem gloomy and dull, predominantly dictated by the situation in Lebanon. “We wanted a name which had strength and not pretentious, something positive and bright for Lebanon” Marc Codsi and Mayaline Hage are Lumi. Marc (1979) a degree in Finance and Mayalene (1982) a Masters in Clinical Psychology were both born in Beirut, Lebanon and this is their home until today. Marc started playing the guitar when he was 17 and has also been the lead guitarist of a Lebanese post punk band ‘Scrambled Eggs” since 2001. In addition to this he produces and performs more experimental projects under the name “Happy Melody”. Marc is not shy of an instrument or two! In fact he has mastered the talent for anything he can touch and make a sound with. Most notably the Bass, Piano, Drums, Trumpet and the keyboards. All of which can be heard throughout the album “Two Tears in Water”. Mayalene was bought her first electric guitar when she was just 11 years old, although she never took it as far as singing, she still demonstrates her musical diversity with her guitar skills in the song “Lilly”.
