Rostftko
(Apr, 2015)

(Rothko /~/ STFT [short-time fourier transform]). Real-time audification of Mark Rothko paintings. An interpretation of this piece arised as a critique on the idolatry of successful artists, but it wasn't my original intention. It is fun, though; to burn through Rothko paintings as if I were reducing "the paintings into white ash" (as I was told by a mentor/friend). I wrote a mostly technical paper about this performance that got accepted to ISEA. I recommend reading it if you're having trouble sleeping.
