text coding* haptic poetry SINCE 2004 ARTIST HAS BEEN WORKING WITH BRAILLE CODE OR "BRAILLE LACES". IN HER LATEST ART PROJECTS, STRAUMANE HAS EMPLOYED THE BRAILLE CODE IN ORDER TO CREATE ARTIFACTS PERCEPTIBLE TO BOTH THE BLIND AND PEOPLE WITH EYESIGHT. BY DRAWING A THIN THREAD BETWEEN THE BLACK RELIEF POINTS IN THE WHITE PAPER LANDSCAPE, SHE CONSTRUCTS NEW MEANINGS AND HER TEXTILE COMPOSITIONS BECOME TEXTS WHERE ORNAMENT IS A CARRIER OF CODED INFORMATION. SHE HAS CREATED LACE-LIKE ORNAMENTS USING PHRASES FROM CATHOLIC PRAYERS…” ANDA KLAVINA, ART CRITIC AND CURATOR “…EVEN THOUGH GUNDEGA STRAUTMANE’S WORKS CAN BE CONSIDERED AS “THE MODERNIZATION OF TRADITION”, THEIR ORNAMENTAL PATTERNS ARE DISTINCTIVE AND SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE TRADITIONAL FORM. THE ARTIST HAS USED BRAILLE CHARACTERS TO TRANSCRIBE PHRASES FROM CHRISTIAN PRAYERS, WRITING THEM OUT IN RAISED, TACTILE BEADS. THESE SETS OF BEAD CHARACTERS ARE ARRANGED IN A SYMMETRICAL RHYTHM, BOTH SPELLING OUT THE TEXT OF THE PRAYER AND CREATING AN IMPRESSIVE, DECORATIVE PATTERN. AS A RESULT, THE WORKS ARE AN ILLUSTRATION OF A CLASSIC CONCEPTUALIST PATH, WITH AN UNEXPECTED TWIST: THE TEXT IS FIRST OF ALL MADE INTO A THREE-DIMENSIONAL PHYSICAL STRUCTURE. IT MAY BE READ AND ITS CONTENT PERCEIVED ONLY THROUGH TOUCH; REPETITIONS AND THE ORNAMENTAL ARRANGEMENT OF SETS OF REPETITIONS PROVIDE NOT JUST A LITERARY EXPERIENCE, BUT A SENSUALLY AESTHETIC ONE AS WELL…” ILIANA VEINBERGA, ART CRITIC

GUNDEGA STRAUTMANE VISUALIZES SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL NETWORKS IN A SHOW CALLED RELATIONAL ORNAMENTS. THE NETWORKS ARE CREATED USING VARIOUS SIZED PINS TO DEPICT NODES AND THREADS CONNECTING THEM TO SHOW RELATIONSHIPS. BRINGING VISUALIZATION INTO THE TACTILE WORLD LENDS IT A WEIGHT NOT ABLE TO BE ACHIEVED ON A COMPUTER SCREEN. IT ALLOWS THE VIEWER TO PAUSE, SPEND TIME WITH THE INFORMATION, FEEL IT, SENSE IT IN A MORE HOLISTIC WAY.
