Vukašin’s creative machinery uses printed media during its work to convert their content into an acoustic image and a paper roll. The production process involves a visitor as an active participant, the one who puts the selected parts of the printed media on a belt conveyed by electric engines. On its way, the belt passes underneath a webcam, which sends the picture of the current situation to a screen. At the end of the road, re-recorded images received from the web cameras, are divided into four parts, and processed again (PureData software). Each part reads the color which then the software classifies into three basic colours, according to the RGB scale. Some parts are used to start the rhythm, while the colors trigger different instruments. The sound pitch depends on the obtained color saturation. After passing the last stop and the corresponding sound score, the paper is rolled and the rolls are pinned to the wall. Vukašin’s production line in which a visitor affects the change of signal/information, indicates our position in relation to the information released by the mass media. Our illusion that we have a choice of or control over information, is hereby transferred, by the recycling process, into music which replaces the media noise. Vukašin Stančević is pursuing a master degree in photography at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade. He conducts research in creative photography, using it to create prints using digital printing techniques. He experiments in the field of multimedia arts, focusing on ways of translating images into sound. He has participated in numerous workshops and exhibitions (photos and prints). He is the founder of the noise band LOMZ, which creates music on a hand-made guitar, keyboards, iPod and in computer programs. For each song a matching video material is created.
