An invitation to journey - an exploration of landscapes both familiar and fantastical, guided by the unbroken flow of a pure white line against a vast black canvas. Each element - a castle perched on a winding path, a lone tree, a wave curling into the unknown - represents a place of potential, an anchor in this visual narrative of discovery.

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 application deadline has now passed.

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.

Originally developed as a tool for the creation of a series of lithographs based on Ernst Haeckel’s ‘Kunstformen Der Natur’ - the tool has now been reformatted for premiere at the Music Hall. Organisms on screen are generated by machine learning and animated using latent space interpolation to calculate the best trajectory between each.
