Opening lighting concert

 

The Colour Conducting project combines painting, lighting technology and music.  It is a visualisation of music, colour conducting that creates colour-lighting-musical animation.

 

It is known from the history of painting that the rhythmical character of music can be depicted by means of a line, while its emotional impact can be expressed in colour. If so, than we could claim that a painter can ‘portray’ a musical composition – of which we have numerous examples in the history of fine arts. Mirko Malle has interpreted a musical work in painting, but he expanded the project by the use of programmed light to animate the painting in the dark. With the combination of these elements the artist aims to heighten the experience of painting (and music).

 

Mirko Malle (born in 1984 in Klagenfurt, Austria) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana with a work on the visualisation of music. He calls himself a colour conductor. He works as a painter, performer, illustrator, caricaturist, mentor of fine art workshops, and colour conductor. He has been a member of Articulation Artistica International (AAI) collective since 2011.
