[im] Channa Horwitz

[János Sugár]

Channa Horwitz (1932 - 2013) was a contemporary artist based in Los 
Angeles, United States. She is recognized for the logically-derived 
compositions created over her five decade career. Her visually 
complex, systematic works are generally structured around linear 
progressions using the number eight.

Sonakinatography, meaning sound - motion - notation. Sonakinatography 
plots the activity of eight entities over a period of time using 
numbers, colors, and the eight-to-the-inch squares of the graph paper 
they appear on. While conceptually complete ends in themselves, and 
visually appealing in their own right as standalone drawings, 
Sonakinatography compositions have also been performed via 
percussion, dance, spoken word, lights, and electronic instruments.

Because of the initial choice of eight-to-the-inch graph paper for 
Sonakinatography, Horwitz has used the number eight consistently 
through her work, as she expands and varies her original systems into 
new sequences and series.
