April 7 Urgent visit to Japan! Talk & Demonstration of "Color to Sound System" Development
(Cooperated by aeroidio (Sam Wells & Adam Vidiksis))
Sam and Adam from Temple University, the developers of the system, will come to Japan urgently to talk about the development of the system using MAX, demonstrate the connection with VIVI WARE, and give a concert!
What is "Color to Sound System"?
The development of the "Color to Sound System" was triggered by the experience of viewing art with a blind person. At a previous exhibition, we invited Dialogue in the Dark attendees and challenged them to "view art with a blind person. Normally, it is forbidden to touch the artworks, but when we touched the artworks and explained what kind of flowers they were, we thought, "I can't understand the colors even if I touch them, and I wish I could convert the colors into sounds". At the LEAGUE workshop, participants were amazed when their artwork produced sound. In fiscal year 2023, we received a grant from the Foundation for Children's Education for a Heart-Rich Society, which will enable us to further develop the project and to support the VIVIVA VIDA LEAGUE. We were able to work on better development, and were also able to develop a version using the VIVI WARE color picker gadget.
