Rowan Belcher 33 RPM

Since the 1980s, the planet has been dancing to the tune of the universal trend toward digitisation. Images, texts, and sounds are passing from an analogue state to a digital one, which allows them to be read by new generations of machines and subjected to novel types of processing. (Bourriaud, 2009, p. 133)


The axis of this series of works … the production of transportable painted surfaces, is motivated by the performance of paint and sound, echoing the language of painting to incorporate flow or flux.

Paint endures and performs, crossing boundaries to reach incompletion. Now in the digital era, like the LP and the turntable, TV’s are obsolescent forms, digitally remixed techno tracks echo and juxtapose the analogue era.
