[UNIT1] METHODS OF ITERATING –3

Last week, My experimentation extended to the area of audio, with a focus on visualization rather than traditional audio elements. By modifying the ‘technique’ that typically visualizes existing audio as a source, I tired to investigate the impact on graphic outcomes. Iterative processes were employed to extract graphical results, exploring the transformations induced by connecting various channels to audio, which traditionally served as the ‘input’.

“But note: their synthesis is allowed only because these two different systems have something in common.”

This week’s experiment builds upon the progress from last week, taking a further step by focusing on transforming visual elements into audio components. The goal was to dynamically convert visually drawn images into real-time audio output, completely reversing their roles. Inspired by ad hoc, the experiment aimed to combine entirely different systems, which are graphics and audio, creating communication and merging their respective systems.

FINAL ITERATION PRACTICE

INPUT

I created a drawing canvas on the left side to enable sound playback as you draw. This patch plays audio based on the coordinates of the mouse cursor’s movement or by clicking randomly on the input field that records coordinate values. This section serves as the input for generating audio.

That means the graphic is creating sounds.

OUTCOME ^{8 Iteration}

“This shift in meaning has the virtue of its vice. Because of its “accidental” nature,
new and striking associations may appear which would have been overlooked in a planned creation”
_{Adhocism: The Case for ImprovisationCambridge: The MIT Press[1972] 2013}

I have created a total of 8 graphics that respond to mouse movements, each paired with 8 sounds.
Initially, the audio transforms into graphics, then the graphics into audio, and now there is a blurred interaction where audio and graphics influence each other. The merging of these different systems, audio and graphics, generates intriguing and interesting visuals, creating new associations.

“multivise”

This word has the semantic advantage of calling attention to two complementary qualities -the “multi” -potentiality of any form as well as its inherent vice-like restrictedness.
