The artist Andrei Loginov captures the éphémère in three-dimensional images. While talking to sound artist Caroline Siegers about how music could be condensed into a picture, they developed the idea to visualise the kinetics of the violin bow.This makes it possible to receive VISUAL SIGNATURES from past times. For this purpose, the project uses a selection of musical excerpts from four centuries. Performers from different genres and instruments are invited to share their interpretation.The illuminated bow of a string player is photographed using lenticular photography. In the lenticular print, a three-dimensional effect is achieved. The recorded audio can be retrieved via QR-Code, or alternatively be installed together with the image, if the venue permits.This way, a musical message is transformed into a sculpture of light and sound.
ABOUT VISUAL SIGNATURES / AI Podcast

The filming was done simultaneously with the violin playing, allowing us to capture the precise movements inherent in the music and the musician's unique performance. Ten digitally synchronized cameras, specially prepared for this project, were used for the recording.
