EXPERIMENTS

Living in Colour: "A Neon Data Nexus" encompasses multiple experiments, each designed to interpret our bodily rhythms in unique and engaging ways. From visualizing data in dynamic forms to crafting audio-reactive installations, every component is a reflection of our collective journey and creative collaboration. We believe that by sharing these experiences, we can inspire audiences to reflect on their own physiological responses and the beauty inherent in everyday life.

Body Rythms (Experiment 1), we utilized p5.js to visualize the collected data, transforming our individual rhythms into dynamic shapes and colors that represented our unique contributions. Each member’s data was color-coded, creating a vibrant tapestry of our collective experience.

In Pursuit of Noise (Experiment 2), we delved into procedural data generation, where we used algorithmic data to create stunning visual outputs. By manipulating the Noise TOP node in TouchDesigner, we explored themes of texture, movement, and harmony, ultimately combining our individual works into a cohesive visual narrative.

Data Alchemy (Experiment 3), we transformed our recorded rhythms into sound and visuals, crafting a compelling narrative inspired by neon lights. This included carefully selecting calming sounds to represent each rhythm and programming audio-reactive visuals that responded in real time. The final output included an animated video and a printed visual sound score, reflecting the interplay between sound and sight.

Holographic Realms (Experiment 4), focused on interactivity, employing Arduino sensors to create a responsive installation where pressing a button triggered both an LED and dynamic visuals. This experiment emphasized the importance of user engagement, allowing participants to interact with the art in a tangible way. A physical enclosure with a hologram effect enhanced this interactive experience, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the visuals.

Finally, Visual Noises (Experiment 5), we further explored the transformation of sound into visual experiences. By programming audio-reactive visuals in TouchDesigner, we created an animated video that captured the rhythms of our bodies, complemented by a printed sound score that visually illustrated the narrative.
