Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

The installation embeds itself within the intellectual traditions of textiles and the codification of pattern inspired by Joseph Jacquard whose weaving loom is attributed to being the first computer. Michaela Davies, Claire Conroy, Charlotte Haywood extend the tradition by creating a unique code to represent the music.

Using the sensibilities of synaesthesia to separate forms and create disorientation, the work highlights revelations in technology and innovation of the past while using Australian music titles to question current innovation in Australia, particularly in primary industries. Filled with colour the installation references the ‘visual music’ traditions of Australian artist Roy De Maistre, utilising his system of correlating the light spectrum to musical notes.
