lights on

this is a project from the end of the first year. for this piece i recorded used a cameraphone to record video of a neon striplight being turned on, then cut the video into single frames. within the image, each row shows the changes in colour and brightness as the tube fires up.

black noise installation

the above photo shows the setup for a small sound installation i set up last month at university. the two speakers played a sound piece, composed of sine waves. One speaker channel had the signal inverted, playing the mathamatical opposite of it's partner. In theory this would create a region equidistant between the speakers where the waves would cancel each other out and tehre would be no sound. Onlookers were invited to suggest where they thaught the silent region was located on the white board provided. In practice, the region wasnt silent, but was distinctly quieter than its surroundings. I will hopefully reproduce this on a grander scale if i get the chance...

edit- when i manage to uplaod audio onto this thing i'll be able to post the sound recording i used...

alright, i finally decided to cave in and post some of my shit onto a blog, outside of the socially political world of myspace. hopefully it wont turn into some form of public diary, because that would be dull for all concerned. as such, photos, art, videos, films and music are gonna be the order of the day.

first of all, some brief contextual details...my name is danny griffin, im 21 and im currently studying media art bath, england, and living with my lovely girlfriend Vicki, and 3 drunken loons who shall remain nameless. but thats all you'll find out (hopefully), because i want this to be an outlet for my work, not personal rants.

having said that, i am currently listening to:
earth: hibernaculum
rhys chatham: a crimson grail (for 400 electric guitars)
boris: pink
prurient: pleasure land
boredoms: super roots 7
