Using coloured inks and porous rice paper, Visakh Menon creates signals and sound patterns to make sense of structure and hierarchy.

Visakh Menon’s newest show, Tremors, at Delhi’s Blueprint12 Gallery, explores digital artefacts. Using coloured inks and porous rice paper, he creates signals and sound patterns to make sense of structure and hierarchy as seen through the diagrammatic representation of command and control modules in electronic systems, social networks, botnets, neural circuits, genome maps and so on.

Give us an insight into your current exhibition.
This solo show will present works from the Tremors, Resonance and Whispers series. These were made from 2018 to 2021 on rice paper in a scroll-like vertical format, traditionally used for calligraphy or ink paintings. In these works, I explore concepts of digital signals, data visualisations of noise patterns, and non-traditional music scores through process-driven abstraction and repetitive linear mark making.
