#intangible phenomena

While thinking up ways of visualising sound that was outside of waves and visual distortion, I pondered the concept of expanding/pulsing balls. After quickly scanning the internet to look at the behaviour of sound, I came across this visualisation by ColorSimply. This isn’t necessarily the behaviour I had conceived, as I was pondering an idea which involved sound passing through the wave forms and bouncing off of impassable objects, but it’s interesting to find this commercial take on idea of sound as balls.

Quick experiment to see what overlaying the stages of the previous animation in Photoshop. Can’t help but feel it’s created an “X-Ray” type visual.

This is an interesting angle on visualising smell, which is harder that more tangible sense (sight, sound), but I can’t help feel that the visualisation in more infographic that documentarian.

ECHOs provide the player with AR information of the event history within a specific location. This is made up of recordings, both visual and audio, and help to piece together the spaces “memory” through the phenomenological experience of those who were there at the time.

Abstract visualisation of intangible phenomenon within a three-dimensional space. The focus here is on sound based on footsteps walking through the space.
