DESCRIPTION
"Dots and Lines" is a collaborative work of two independent artists,
Nino Davadze and Mariam Songhulashvili, which observes the audio-visual
characteristics of the city. The piece is a synthesis of visual images
of the city and field recordings, where both artists process the
material with a random principle.
A city is a set of intersection points and lines connecting them. These
relations create a kind of urban arithmetic, which emphasizes the
simultaneous coexistence of both an orderly system and a random,
changing space in the city.
The visual texture of the piece relies on cartographic and
meteorological data of Tbilisi and is triggered by the audio impulses.
The “Dot and Lines” as sonic form is the collection of fragments
recorded in the city, which on one hand, reflects on social aspects of
everyday life, but on the other hand, opposes it by brutal sound
interaction. The audio piece is partly improvised, partly pre-prepared,
where the raw audio material is processed into rhythmic or harmonic
phrases.
