As part of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Peacock, the printmaking workshop based in Aberdeen, we've co-commissioned a new piece of animated work for the Music Hall by Glasgow and Copenhagen-based artist, printmaker and publisher David Bellingham.

Bellingham's work is poetic and concise. He uses a diverse range of media, from painting and sculptural installation to books, postcards and other printed material, to explore the relationships between objects, words and contexts, often inverting our preconceptions about them.

Ancient folklore around the world infer that everything has a spirit or essence. The Romans named the protective spirit of a place, Genus Loci. In Scotland many bodies of water were worshipped as deities. In Aberdeen, the River Dee's name was derived from the word ‘deva’, meaning goddess but what spirits lie beneath the surface of our waters now?

The project reframes our relationship to the real and virtual. Using machine learning, slowly morphing images of granite are shown in close up, accompanied by music generated from local news feeds and comprised from the sounds of the physical labour that built Aberdeen: metal striking stone. To hear the music, take a seat and press your head back.

This project explores the coastal areas of Scotland where industrial and natural structures have become interwoven. These areas, where life began the evolutionary journey from ocean to land, are at risk due to rising water levels. This anthropogenic impact on the coast is highlighted by the artist via photogrammetry of the emerging assemblages.
