“Erased, sight and sound” is an audiovisual piece that was inspired by the American graphic artist Robert Milton Ernest Rauschenberg’s (1925-2008) work entitled “Erased De Kooning” (1953). The drawing was created by Rauschenberg erasing a drawing he obtained from
the painter Willem de Kooning. I focused on the idea of “erasing” by Rauschenberg, and the video part of this piece was created by the erasing of information of the video as a material. The electronic sound was created by directly converting the video information to an audio signal, thereby creating an unsentimental and phenomenal representation of the visual stimulus into auditory stimulus. In this paper, I deal with the aesthetic considerations that led to the creation of this piece, and the technical description of how Processing and Max were used to create the video and electronic sound.
