Description
This participative, multimedia work merges computer vision with dynamic audio-visual space to create a self-reflexive, interconnected and temporal sound-vision environment. The work monitors the sky with an ultra-high-definition 4K camera, looking for shifts in the chaos of the clouds and analyzing patterns and changes of hue over the course of the day. The 4K stream can be processed via novel computer-vision algorithmic approaches, using rates of change and the gridded relationship of pixel values within the captured image. This approach translates the outdoor skyscape into an indoor soundscape, and that soundscape shifts as day transitions into night.
