Rainbow Audio Transformation

Extra City Center for Contemporary Art, Antwerp

A project by Nico Dockx and CM von Hausswolff
in collaboration with Extra City, NICC and Champ d'Action

This project brings 12 artists together working on a collective experiment on the relation between colour and sound, departing from the 7 colours of the rainbow, with white and black added. Each artist and/or collective works on a specific colour, using both intuition and scientific sources, and will produce a looped sound piece. After approximately one month of experiments, all artists come together in Antwerp for some days, after which these individual works will be synthesized into one collective installation, made up of 9 sound works played simultaneously.

Participating artists

Mike Harding and Philip Marshall
working with RED (wavelength ≈ 625–750 nm) and ORANGE
(wavelength ≈ 585–620 nm)

Finnbogi Pétursson
working with YELLOW (wavelength ≈ 570–580 nm)

Maia Urstad
working with GREEN (wavelength ≈ 520–570 nm)

Leon Milo
working with BLUE (wavelength ≈ 440–490 nm)

Brandon LaBelle
working with INDIGO (wavelength ≈ 450–420 nm)

Jana Winderen

CM von Hausswolff
working with WHITE (all colors of the light spectrum)

Building Transmissions: Nico Dockx, Kris Delacourt and Peter Verwimp
working with BLACK (which absorbs all colors and reflects none)

"Rainbows are optical and meteorological phenomena that cause a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch. More rarely, a secondary rainbow is seen, which is a second, fainter arc, outside the primary arc, with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside. A rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colours. Traditionally, however, the sequence of colours is quantized. The most commonly cited and remembered sequence, in English, is Newton's sevenfold red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet."
