We are pleased to host Doug Fogelson and Jeffrey Lubow to discuss their collaboration for Fogelson’s Signal/Noise installation, recently on view at old friends. 

Signal/Noise was originally conceived as a series of color photograms on analog film created between 2023 and 2025. Using gridded materials and brief exposures to color-filtered light, Fogelson works in darkness, combining elements by feel and chance. In collaboration with video editor Matt Volla, the artist then translates the photograms into moving images—crossfading, shifting saturation, cropping, and fragmenting forms. 

Jeffrey Lubow is an interdisciplinary designer, researcher, and artist concerned with the space between the body and emergent technology. In response to Fogelson’s video piece, Lubow designed software that translates the photograms’ visual edge patterns and color weights into sound, effectively facilitating the imagery to “play itself.”

Please join us on Zoom on Saturday, December 14th, 4pm CST for a discussion on collaborative relationships between artists and between technologies. The conversation will be recorded and available on oldfriendsgallery.com.
