KINESIS

The project ‘Kinesis’ aims to be a starting point to an exploration of an imaginative sonification and visualization of a soul of non-human entities through its movement. Bring the intangible to a physical world as a study of living bodies of non-human entities. Blurring boundaries between humans and other species in the environment, as we take a closer look at them and the interconnectedness between all living beings through the existence of every entity’s spirits. 

Collecting acceleration data applied to the X, Y and Z axis from ADXL345 sensor (accelerometer) through Arduino to Max MSP, the X, Y Z values are used to build a ghostly FM synthesis along with an audio-reactive  particle system which uses the position of the particle to sample a noise function, and use the 3D noise values as a force to apply to the particles themselves. The project’s visual language inspired by Federico Foderaro
