Summer Vacations - Cephalonia Island

Summer 2013 and I took a lovely 5 day trip in Cephalonia island, Greece, in which I saw a lot of the natural beauty that the island has to offer.

Apart from an awkward daily encounter with bees and wasps, I got to travel in almost the entire part of the island and many of the buildings on the north part were very much influenced by the Venetians.

Also got to see some amazing handmade jewellery that I'm so fond of, made out of gold, silver, emerald, coral and all kind of precious stones!

Finally at the end of all, I met a Serbian printmaking artist called Dragisa Cosic. He was selling his art on a street of Argostoli village and I must say I was amazed by the detail of his craft. Sadly he barely gets by with little money and no recognition.. Nevertheless he said he only has what he needs. 

 

Broadvision Private View - 'The day before'

Getting ready for the private view tomorrow, 23rd of May! 

One day before the big opening and everyone has turned into eager bussy bees! Installations, videos, paintings, presentations... this exhibition truly has a big variety of artistic practises.

Steganography: Audio Inside Image

Final stages of my exhibiting work for the BroadVision Data Truth & Beauty exhibition, on 23rd-29th of May 2013.
To see more about the exhibition

The idea is based on Steganography; a term used to describe the art of hiding data within other data. My project is challenging that idea by using two different file formats; audio and image.I gathered and hid recordings of people within their own photographs to express individuality and depth. 

The Boad Vision is publishing it's own 'Petri-Dishes-Guides' to inform and navigate the viewers throughout the exhibition. Have a look at mine.

Audio in Image / Image in Audio

Taking from my last post on illustrating Audio Files and based on Staganography, I decided to put sounds inside images; How do I do that?

When opening an image file in the computer you get multiple codes and numbers, these are the electronic digits that form the picture. The same way you open an image file, you can open an audio file as well. Once you collected the digits of both files, you can insert one inside the other and have a combination of audio and image in one file.

This process can be done on MatLab and thanks to the help of an imaging science tutor at the university of Westminster, I have some live examples to show you!
