CROCKER MOSAIC

CROCKER MOSAIC

9:30 minutes, HD video with stereo sound, animation by Rachel Clarke, music composed by Stephen Blumberg (excerpt)

A participatory artwork commissioned by the Crocker Art Museum for the opening of the new museum extension in October 2010.

Members of the Crocker Art Museum were invited to submit images of their artwork for inclusion in the piece. The process was not juried, all 800 submitted works were included. The artworks were used to create individual tiles that combined to form a visual and architectural mosaic.

In the same way, the music was created from small motifs and patterns used to create a larger sonic texture using cells, replication, imitation, inversion and layering.
