Outset Israel supported Guy Goldstein's exhibition 'Transcription of Blue' at the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center in Washington, D.C. Guy Goldstein is interested in exploring complicated processes by moving between mediums in his art. For this series Guy investigated 'colours of noise' by converting graphite drawings into sounds, which he then converted back into printed images using a mid-century Russian ANS synthesiser.
Being both a visual artist and a musician, Goldstein is fascinated by the transitions between media-attempts to convert and translate actions through one medium to another. 'Transcription of Blue' continues his ongoing occupation with the relationship between sound and image. He converted drawings to sound and vice versa, using software that is based on an old cumbersome machine from 1940s Russia. The software makes it possible to obtain a visible image of a sound wave. It also synthesises a sound from an artificially drawn sound spectrogram.
