| art.description.project | PULSING (Aarhus) is a site-specific LED light installation that uses Morse Code as a method of visually transmitting textual messages into a series of light signals.
On the PULSING (Aarhus) website http://pulsinginaarhus.tumblr.com people are invited to type in a civil rights chant, a lyric from a protest song or a verse from a poem of resistance or any other calls for action that they are empowered by. These verses will be translated in real time into a Morse Code light pulsing from the window of Galleri Image onto the streets of Aarhus, Denmark from 10-20:00 each day of the exhibition. The works asks the local community what is urgent to say right now.
Examples of chants that were submitted which may have been collected from various protests, actions, manifestations are:
no more business as usual
act up fight back
no justice no peace
we are gonna be alright
when the revolution comes won’t be no police brutality
when the revolution comes won’t be mass incarceration
Ferguson to Palestine racism is a crime
money for jobs and education not for mass deportations
for those who can’t we raise our fists
hands up don’t shoot
PULSING (Aarhus) is a project initiated by artist and activist Mary Coble that has been developed in collaboration with nuclear engineer, energy activist and programmer Nick Touran.
This work was commissioned for the exhitbion Acting in Numbers at Galleri Image, Aarhus, DK. Uniting photography and performance, the works in Coble’s solo exhibition focus on iconic symbols, bodily gestures, chants, and signals used in political protest and as forms of resistance. Photography and performance can offer distinct temporalities that are urgent for capturing, sharing and activating often ephemeral signs of defiance. | sv |
| art.description.summary | PULSING (Aarhus) is a site-specific LED light installation that uses Morse Code as a method of visually transmitting textual messages into a series of light signals. Through a website the community where the work is installed and beyond are invited to submit a civil rights chant, a lyric from a protest song or a verse from a poem of resistance or any other calls for action that they feel empowered by. PULSING is a visualization of the process of collaborative creation of an archive of utterings of resistance. | sv |
