Description

This painting is the first version of “controlling musical machines” which can be of course described as musical instruments. The abstracted figure is stuck, hypnotised in front of a blue light emitting screen. Making slight visual adjustments that affect the noises in the ears. I can't do anything until you make the noise. We sit in front of a glass screen for instruction, information and experience.
