SOUND FOR EYES

Understanding Sound
Sound for the Eyes
"Where words no longer suffice, sounds speak. What figures cannot express, sounds paints."
The ambiance of sound reminds the listener of his own presence in a living world, rather than just an empty void. Even when we are reading, we always will "hear" in our head, our own voice reciting the words, or if we feel particular imaginative, another voice will take on the narrative. And we always will try to find something to look at when faced with a sound that has no visual counterpart.

32 London Bridge Street,
London SE1 9SG
By mapping the invisible onto the visible, I'm offering the viewer a different understanding of the area, through the sound at the street level. Sound, as an immaterial remnant of our daily routines, becomes an interesting vantage point to understand a space. Instead of allowing it to bounce off the walls of the surrounding buildings and to disappear, I'm freezing it to materialised the immaterial.
Rather than understanding the space in its entirety from a top view, I visit different parts of the space, make a recording and then combine it in pictorial form. My understanding of the space becomes fragmented. The same space enjoyed from the Shard as one becomes a different experience when looked at from the street level, as one has to scale the entire terrain and process in the mind the different parts that have been visited in order to form a more complete image of the space.

VIEW FROM THE SHARD
LONDON
This piece is based on the sound recorded from the top of the Shard, London and by overlaying the glitches of the sound onto the captured image to produce an overall image of London View.However, it is found out that the sound which is recorded up there is not what I would hear down there to create the overall image of the View from the shard. Therefore, a drawing of aerial photographs and overlaying with the glitches of the layer base from the sound recorded down eventually starts to influences the overall view of the aerial photograph.
MAPPING
A drawing of aerial photographs and overlaying with the glitches of the layer base from the sound recorded down eventually starts to influences the overall view of the aerial photograph. The information is not just a random image captured the aerial view of London and input into the drawing but it all came from the smaller pieces that are affected from the smaller pieces of data collected from the ground with the introduction dimension of time onto the graphic of a map.
