Sight Hearing 

An audiovisual data-mapping exploration of place, sound, and perception in London

This project responds to the visual language of souvenirs of London without directly representing their visual characteristics. Instead, it translates the sounds of various locations into abstract, “calligraphic” drawings.















For the sound mapping, I used TouchDesigner. A circle moves positions on the X and Y axes responding to the low and high frequencies of the recording, while the mid-range frequencies control the circle’s radius. 

I created a 10 × 10 grid and used 100 seconds of audio recorded at each location. The circle begins in the first square and moves to the next square every second, progressively mapping the full 100-second recording.
