Visuals by Fat Butcher

On Saturday 1ST March everybody’s favourite Dutch Man – Sander Kleinenberg returns to Ministry of Sound for another dose of his exclusive London residency THIS IS…

Fully loaded with an array of secret weapons – the one’s he’ll put images to, Sander will take us on a 5 HOUR! twisted visual/musical journey delving into the darker side of house as he pushes the boundaries of technology, Djing both audio and video via live DVD mixing, pushing our main room sound and light installation (we think of it as the best!) to the max!

As one the first DJ’s to fully embrace the audio-visual technology in his performance, Sander has full control over the visual elements, which allows him to really stamp his personality on the night, expressing himself through the images and custom video content, connecting with his audience on another level. Joining Sander in the main room we welcome future music heroes Spirit Catcher (live). After their smashing main room performance last year alongside Deadmau5, we just had to have them back!

Breaks hero Lee Coombs heads the Bar alongside the multi-talented Freeform 5 (DJ Set), and Ministry veteran Jazzy M.
THIS IS…one night NOT to be missed!

The History of Visual Communication

An amazing study and insight on the history of visual communication gives a good look on the development of this human endeavor. Please read it when you have some time.

Below is Wikipedia’s definition for visual communication. The translation of ideas, stories and concepts that are largely textual and/or word based into a visual format, i.e. visual communication.

“Visual communication is the communication of ideas through the visual display of information. Primarily associated with two dimensional images, it includes: art, signs, photography, typography, drawing fundamentals, colour and electronic resources. Recent research in the field has focused on web design and graphically oriented usability. It is part of what a graphic designer does to communicate visually with the audience”.

The primary tool by which man has visualised ideas is through the usage of writing and, by extension, type: Writing/type is the visual manifestation of the spoken word. And words are what we communicate with. Thus it is no overstatement when we say that type is the essence of visual communication and by extension of visual communication design. Type, where it is present, is simply the single most important element that you put on a page, since it inherently carries the essence of communication and communication is what our subject of study as graphic/multimedia designers is all about. Thus, the history of visual communication, i.e. the history of the visualisation of the spoken word, will largely follow the development of typographic systems, with a special focus on the Latin typographic system, given that this is the one that we are operating under. Although the primary focus will be on typographic elements and methodologies, the course will, of course, also cover pictorial aspects of visual communication, such as illustration, illumination, photography, shapes, colour etc as and where they pertain to the essence of the subject.

By reading the study, we developed some ideas on the visualisaton of music as parallel form of communication. If word on paper are communication, we think music can be seen as communication as well. However, maybe a bit more abstract and targeting emotions, rather than practical words. In addition, music often uses words in poem form, further emphasising the abstract aspect of communication.

PhD study for “The History of Visualisation of Music” anyone?
