Synaesthesia
2010
You are seeing an image of my face, recorded by the camera inside a computer, and turned into sound. The sound travels through the air and is captured by the microphone inside a second computer across the room, which tries to recreate the original image.
Every sound that the second computer picks up, including the sound of my voice, is drawn into the image.
This process turns my face into changes in air pressure, which mix with the sounds of the room, are filtered by the quality of the speakers and the microphone, and reconstructed as visible waves of light.
