Artifacts

  • The painting is missing its sound, but it is not retrievable.
  • The audio recording is not the sound of the painting because the painting is seen all at once.
  • The two are divorced from one another.
  • The only way to associate sounds with the painting is to be there when it’s made, and hear the sounds for the marks as they’re being made.
  • The completed painting has no sound.
  • The two are related: the recorded sound and the complete painting.

From my reflective statement, written in 2011.
