Fascinated by an Arabic book from approximately the 1400's, and a set of oarlocks from Venice, I created a set of MIDI controlled calligrams that came alive and danced around a chalkboard. Much of which is inspired by the freehand graphic expression of the book, where the unregulated text created unique formed and broke the rules of layouting for reading as I knew them. The digital format I worked with aimed at creating similar chaotic spaces by the use of MIDI controls, that I performed live for visitors. The project was assisted by Ellef Prestsæter and Martin Lundell. See the full post here.
