MARIUS JASTKOWIAK & MARK BROWN

 “Camera Shake: painting and video feedback project”, a collaboration between Marius Jastkowiak  and Mark Brown, is a multi- sensory experience combining painting, projection and audio elements in a walk-in light box that enables us to simultaneously both see and ‘hear’ a painting.

Marius Jastkowiak’s oil painting, based on a fuzzy photograph of a light source – a sort of trippy ‘light slur, is suspended in the space.

Mark Brown will set up a camera in the ‘box’ recording the painting in real time and projecting it back onto the canvas.  This creates a feedback loop and a quite beautiful effect of colour and movement as the camera attempts to focus.  An accompanying sound effect is sourced from the camera operation.  It is the same signal that goes to the projector. And in this way the visual recording of the painting is converted to an audio signal so that the sound that we are hearing is virtually the frequency of the painting!

Huber’s photographs capture the vastness of Norwegian vistas diffused with ethereal light from daylight darkness to midnight sun, recorded while on residency there during the Arctic winter. The series of photographs titled “There is no light without darkness”, float in transparent Perspex boxes, often with more than one photograph in a shallow stack inside the box, and are lit with visible strips of light emitting diode (LED) lights.  The images and chosen format of these works consciously allude to environmental issues.
