INTERPOLATED NOISE
An
audio-visual exploration of the mind. Abstract
synthesised sound and digitally created visuals are born from the data
extracted from the human brain. The experience is harsh and grating, with
imperfections and artefacts from each step of the process affecting the
outcome. As data is converted, crushed, turned analog and synthesised into
noise it takes on a brutally alien and glitched form. This harsh sound is
accompanied by visuals of sharp, angular geometry created by mapping
coordinates and dimensions of the screen to the exact same brain data.
This exhibit piece explores the soundscape of the human mind with the current outcome reflecting the electroencephalograph data extracted from someone listening to pop music. Like some sort of over engineered translator, it maps the data from the processing brain and creates uniquely intense music, unlike anything heard before.

Interpolated Noise gives the brain a voice, despite how grating and discordant it may sound.
Powered by Processing and a custom-built DAC – Data to Audio Converter – featuring an Arduino and micro-analog synthesiser, the project was run in a garage and projected large scale in the dark for full immersion into the distorted experience.
