Can't Fight The Moonlight

Sara Naim: Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (2008)

The artist's statement:
"This body of work looks at translating sound into a photographic image. Ludwig Van Beethoven’s symphony vibrates through milk. He composed this piece in the early 1800’s for his blind pupil and lover, Giuletta Gucciardi. Gucciardi said to Beethoven that she wished she could see the moonlight. Beethoven then composed a piece about the moonlight’s reflection off Austria’s Lake Lucerne, called Moonlight Sonata."

The series of twelve photos begins here. Sound and spilled milk together at last.

All We Wanna Do Is Eat Your Brains / We're Not Unreasonable (I Mean No One's Gonna Eat Your Eyes)



That's Beethoven's skull and it's on the market.
It really is.

Read all about it.
Quote: "Skull collecting is a veritable subculture. One man's macabre relic is another man's Barry Bonds seventy-first home-run ball." Unquote.

It Is The Distant Future / We Are Robots

Thing Two:
The Beethoven Scanner! Now THIS is a scanner. The various music departments in my life should look into it.
