Image Decay

2022

This work, in addition to the physical sound vessels, was a major part of the Vancouver Field Recordings Project. The primary visual element of this work was to project a large image of each of the field recording locations and create a function that distorts the image based on the waveform data of the song. The more data the song is generating at a certain time, the faster the image will distort, as the song continually plays the distortion continues until the environment where it was recording is rendered virtually unrecognizable. The aim here is to visualize a relationship of distortion and decay generated from continual streaming and to visualize musical data in a different way from the physical vessels.
