Mary Anderson: Wav(e)s
March 12 – April 13, 2014
Student Gallery
Wav(e)s consists of photographs and sound recordings derived from Lake Ontario, captured with a film camera and an analog tape recorder. The analog process of each media was then digitized and transformed into opposing media — image became sound and sound became image. By their nature, these analog materials are composed of silver and magnetic particles transformed into patterns when exposed to light or sound waves.
The original waves of the lake were transformed into data, challenging their indexical quality and bringing attention to the analog and digital techniques. The final representations of the lake’s waves, both visual and auditory, are displayed through photographs and an accompanying soundtrack where both audio and visual elements coincide. Wav(e)s offers a deeper consideration of the relationship between subject matter, artistic processes and representation.
