The process of transforming one type of sensory experience into another can have multiple applications, both practical and artistic. We recently featured Ishin-Den-Shin by the Disney Research team, an installation that turns sound into touch, and back again. Such interactive experiments can have very positive implications – especially when designing ways of help those with sensory or aural disabilities.

Digital sculptor Quayola and sound and visual artist Natan Sinigaglia have collaborated to create Live with Mira Calix. Part performance piece, part CGI film, Live takes music made by British composer and artist Mira Calix, and translates it, visually, into movement. The designers digitally rendered the music, creating a virtual sculpture that shifts like a living organism, creating shapes and colours that are mesmerising, as well as testing our perception of the aural.

The project is currently being exhibited all over the world, and has recently travelled to both Moscow and LA.
