COMPUTATION, SOUND, AND VISION

UCLArts and the UCLA Center for Digital Arts in collaboration with the Center for Science and Art in the Department of Physics at UCLA presented an exhibit "Computation, Sound and Vision" in August of 2000 at the New Wight Gallery at UCLA. The principal participants in the show included visual artist Pamela Davis Kivelson, media artist and composer Peter Bogdanoff, composer Charles Sharp, pianist Robert Winter, violinist Corinne Chapelle, and the Insect Vision Group at Cambridge University, especially primary scientist Brian Burton.

The show featured dual installations that visualized natural noise, rhythms in the brain, lifecycle experiences of fruit flies, and insect vision. The exhibition included large-scale multimedia works on paper, projections, and a sound landscape. The conception and origins for the installations were driven by the overarching musical structures that incorporate Bach’s unaccompanied violin sonatas, Debussy's piano piece "Golliwog’s Cakewalk," and music generated from brainwave data and insect neuron activity.
