Trio is a multiscreen installation of abstract digital images, each a visual echo of a distinct three-note chord from a string trio score by first-generation minimalist composer Tom Johnson.

Opening reception: Tuesday, May 16th at 6:30pm

Hours: May 14–19th, 12–6pm

Presented on four large screens, the images were created with custom software based on 288 combinations of violin, viola, and violoncello notes.

Each of the 49 notes used in Trio’s musical scale is assigned a color and a simple rectangular shape with dimensions determined by the note number. These shapes — known mathematically as ‘straight polyominoes’ — were inspired by the combinatorics at the heart of the string trio score. A note, represented by the same shape repeated either vertically or horizontally on the screen, is stacked with the two other visually translated notes to form a composite visual abstraction. Appearing architectonic yet malleable, these emergent visual compositions operate in their own realm as a series of digital paintings, one gently flowing into the next.

Galbraith’s installation continues a body of work exploring alternative relationships between sound and image enabled by software designed to cross media boundaries and form a new audiovisual composition environment.

David Galbraith: Trio is a satellite event of Creative Tech Week 2017.

Galbraith presents Trio (2016) a digital video from custom software as part of a group exhibition interpreting the notion of space.

The exhibition is hosted at 3LD Art & Technology Center, a 1700-square-foot flexible production space. Six artists from New York, China Mainland, and Taiwan are invited to create an immersive environment with colors, forms, structures, patterns, symbols, movements, and images that keep emerging and growing with subtlety.

Saturday, June 18 • 4:00pm – 7:00pm

Emergence is a Digital Art Collection Club (DACC) event.

Chez Moi

KenKen GS is a videowork that explores a tightly-coupled yet non-linear and generative relationship between image and sound.

The work’s compositional basis includes the structure and expanded numerical content of KenKen puzzles published in the New York Times, historical color scales proposing different correspondences of color to musical pitch, and sixteen resonant acoustic frequencies recorded in and around the stairwell of the Museum of Arts and Design where the work was exhibited as an installation in 2014 for NYC Makers: The MAD Biennial.

KenKen GS is generated in real-time by Galbraith’s custom software, and features abstract graphics formatted with reference to the stairwell location and high definition display used for the NYC Makers exhibition.

The piece has a linear temporal structure and loops after the animation sequence completes. KenKen GS was first shown in 2011 and is adapted specifically for each new installation location.

Density is a generative installation of abstract animation with six-channel sound based on a vintage mathematics reference text. Reversing the traditional visual music mapping from musical pitch to color hue, Density structures the sonic realm through constraints derived from the visual domain.

Density is a generative installation of abstract animation with six-channel sound based on a vintage mathematics reference text. Reversing the traditional visual music mapping from musical pitch to color hue, Density structures the sonic realm through constraints derived from the visual domain. The animation is created with custom software which simultaneously generates sound via granular synthesis controlled by the image track, sparking the interplay between image and sound.
