Visual Media Projects

In the digital domain everything is data, but what you do with that data is up to you. File formats are a suggestion when you think about.  Images and audio both have a respective raw format which has no encoding or compression, and can with little adjustment of the headers be read by respective programs. Effects like reverbs, phasers, and distortions change the bits within the audio data, and when placed onto raw data have the same effects on images. You can even visualize these audio effects on the images, and with the many colors of stage lighting you can see very different results with the same processing. Chopping up the audio file of an image results in pretty much what you would expect, with the chunks of the image rearranged.

I love the crossover of media that is possible in the technological age we live in,  and I think that the ability we have to visualize audio is a tremendously interesting opportunity both in visual media and as a possible method of furthering our understanding of audio. 

Notice the ghost bass in the image, this was achieved primarily using a reverb effect.

Phasers and saturation lead to two very different variations of the same image.
