Ciurlionis's Paintings / Thoughts on a Beach. In the late
1970's I pursued art historical investigations of the painter M.
K. Ciurlionis. My investigations led to several important historical
discoveries, which I wrote up and published. I did the typing of
these manuscripts on a typewriter that had a disposable ribbon.
I saved those ribbons. In 1987, I released several of these ribbons
on Toronto's Sunnyside Beach, and photographed them. In the photo-documentary
piece of 1994, one can actually read my written words on these ribbons.
The EEG tracing was done while I thought about M. K. Ciurlionis's
Paintings. The musical score applied was from M. K. Ciurlionsis's
symphonic poem Jura (Sea).
