This experimental image processing arose from translating vision/movement into sound, exploring the interchangeability of fundamentally different mediums through technology.
Variable edges within images generate the points and lines which are translated into waveforms. This synthesis produces audio that is exclusive to the source image, which can be used as an input for a vector display (in this case, an oscilloscope). These audio translations can be recorded and “re-translated” back into images using a vector display; sound and image become interchangeable.
Credits: Image-to-Audio conversions were done using the Processing programming environment, a template coded by Ted Davis with acknowledgements for Just Van Rossum, Stefanie Bräuer and Hansi Raber. I also received help in doing light modifications to the code from Tuomo Rainio.
