Join artist Sasha de Koninck and local musicians for a free musical performance as part of Sasha’s artwork on display in the Evanston + Vicinity Biennial. The artwork is from a larger project entitled ‘Zeroes and Ones: Exercises in Translation’. The project’s research began as an exploration into the relationship between the construction of cloth, and the construction of music. The link was the punchcard. Used to run jacquard looms and player pianos, it shows music and textile using the same technology. The works on display are a tangent from the initial research of construction, which turned into an investigation into translation.

For the textile translation, the images were turned into punchcards for a knitting machine. For the musical translation, the textiles will be read as graphic scores by local musicians.

The performance will include the two scores on display, as well as other scores from the project!
