This collection is the result of ongoing research into the various ways in which we encode, decode, and transform information. As humans, we are constantly receiving, processing, and interpreting information in a variety of forms. One example of this is the way in which we perceive and understand music.
When a musical instrument is played, the sound waves it produces travel through the air and eventually reach our eardrums, where they are translated into electrical signals that our brains interpret as music. But music can also be written down on a scoresheet, allowing others to read and play the melody. In this case, the written score contains all the information necessary to play the song, but it exists in a different form, one that can be read, but not heard.
Inspired by the idea of capturing and storing information in different forms, I created an algorithm that analyzes various aspects of songs, such as frequency and amplitude, and generates a visual representation of the music. This visual representation is then captured on ceramic surfaces, resulting in a unique and artistic interpretation of the original musical composition.
Through this series, I aim to play with the concept of capturing, changing, and storing information in various forms, and to investigate how we encode and decode it. Whether through sound, sight, or other senses, the ways in which we perceive and understand the world around us are constantly evolving, and this collection seeks to delve into these fascinating processes.
