Olivia Ting: Touching Sound

 

Reception Saturday, Sept. 14 

1-4pm   Artist's talk at 2pm.


Five repurposed vintage radios with a diorama embody sound through touch. 

The audio sources are reflective of the Far Out Gallery location and include the ocean, birds, foghorns, and Muni tracks. These sounds are translated to vibrations by means of transducers installed in the radios. 
Olivia Ting grew up in this neighborhood. It’s where she became an artist and discovered sound as her medium despite being deaf. 

I was inspired by the story of Helen Keller experiencing the broadcast of a Beethoven symphony performed by the New York Philharmonic with her hands on the radio; it was as if she held the music as a morphing sculpture that spoke to her through touch. As a deaf artist, I am intrigued by sound as energy— the physical repercussions of molecular vibrations and their harmonious metamorphoses. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another. For me, what came through the radio for Keller was the creative energy of Beethoven, who himself lost his hearing as an adult, making a powerful haptic connection across time and space.

The five haptic radios I built for this series are meant to be touched. The audio sources I chose are reflective of the Far Out Gallery location – the ocean, birds, foghorns, and Muni tracks — and are translated to vibration by means of transducers installed in the radios. The neighborhood is also quite personal to me: growing up here, this is where I became an artist and discovered sound as my medium despite being deaf.

These haptic experiences are interwoven with excerpts of Beethoven’s 6th Symphony, which was, in ways, his lyrical aural portraiture of the countryside where he escaped from the cacophony of city life as his hearing was deteriorating. 

 This project seeks to paint a cheeky, vibratory, phonic and visual tapestry of the ways how sound infiltrates our senses, memories, and bodies.      —Olivia

Artists’ Talks at 2pm.

In 1924, French poet, Andre Breton, published Manifesto of Surrealism: a treatise denouncing realism and rationality. He believed the "omnipotence of dreams" and exploring the unconscious would liberate humanity. This idea became a revolutionary art movement producing weird, wild and fantastical images. It has been embraced worldwide, in many mediums, ever since.

Bring us your surreal art and help us celebrate 100 years of Surrealism!

Welcome to FOG’s fundraising exhibition supporting Ukrainian refugees. Margarita Soyfertis, a San Francisco mosaic artist, approached FOG with this idea and we are sympathetic to the cause. Margarita is from Kiev and wants to help her former country and fellow artists Vitaliy Pryzant and Ganna Prymakova, who recently fled Ukraine. She invited Ukrainian American artists Elvira Dayel, Nataliya Pryzant, and Gregory Vernitsky. All contributing artists are donating sales of their art to Hearts For Ukraine US, a non-profit humanitarian organization. The devastation and destruction of this war has touched most of the world and its horrors have no end. Please consider assisting Ukrainian refugees by purchasing art or donating directly to www.heartsforukraine.us

CURRENTS

This exhibition features my recent watercolors. I was inspired to try this medium by FOG's Watercolors show. I enjoy artistic challenges and this medium presented one. I spent the last four months working only with watercolor– a diversion from over forty years of oil painting. Gone was the control I relied on with oils. Watercolors run, the colors dry differently and there is minimum covering up. But this medium gives me qualities I love: transparency, luminosity, lightness. The white of the paper becomes a color and what’s left blank is activated. I enjoy seeing the brush strokes, pools of paint and layers of color. Now I welcome less control and allow the medium to direct the painting. Watercolor has opened a new world for me.
