“Ichographs vanLoon” is a audiovisual installation from the Ichographs series of works and it is based on five Theodoor van Loon (1582 – 1649) paintings. These paintings are:
- Pietà
- Le Martyre de saint Lambert
- La Délivrance de saint Pierre
- L’Assomption
- L’Annonciation
 |
Commissioned by BOZAR for the exhibition “Theodoor Van Loon: A Caravaggist Painter between Rome and Brussels” |
Ichographs is a method of creating soundscapes using visual stimulus and the color-frequency transformation. The painting is transformed into the audio domain and back to visual producing a contemporary amalgamation. As we pass through the various color/frequency layers, we investigate the connections between classical aesthetics and the digital practice, revealing a latent version of the old masterpiece. The final artwork is a contemporary amalgamation of the old painting and the modern abstraction methods, a harmonious dialog between the old and the new, the analog and the digital.
“Ichographs vanLoon” was created using openframeworks and Supercollider.
