Jack Ox has been working on the visualization of music for over 20 years, including studies and research in musicology and phonetics. While making her 800 sq.’ visualization of Kurt Schwitters’ Ursonate, a sound poem in sonata form, she came upon and caused to be published on WERGO (Mainz, Germany) an original, unknown performance by Kurt Schwitters. The complete Ursonate will be shown in the Muzeum Sztuki, Lodz, Poland in 2002. She was in Vom Klang der Bilder, Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart.1985, made an Ursonate presentation at the Centre Georges Pompidou during the 1994 Schwitters retrospective, and exhibited the12 painting series of Anton Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony in 1996 at the Neue Galerie der Stadt, Linz, Austria. Parts of her Ursonate installation have been exhibited at (among others) SoundCulture’96, S.F., CA, and at the Podewil, Berlin in 1998. Ox's electronic version of the Ursonate can be seen at @art, an electronic art gallery affiliated with the School of Art and Design, University of Illinois, Urbana- Champaign, and was created in collaboration with its students and faculty. http://www.art.uiuc.edu/@art/main.html.
