David Ballantine: The Remembering of the Air
NO FOUNDATION presents Remembering the Air by David Ballantine.
The Remembering of the Air is its own instrumentation, mediating our breath and the greater wind around us.
Instruments facilitate a kind of speaking that reveals an intrinsic quality or character within themselves. They are expressive mediators of sensuous human experience; interpreters of gestures and phenomenon. They are the bodying-forth of a qualitative language beyond our digital alphabetic code. What language is it that they speak? What is lost and what is gained through their translation of experience? How do they affect our perception of environments? Through the interaction of instruments and the body in reverence to material, my work investigate the sensuous within a growing digital and immaterial world.
