Developed as part of the "Media History and Ethics" course, Armlet explores the concept of “images to listen to” by creating a dynamic sound visualizer. The project uses creative coding environment Processing to generate real-time visuals that respond to audio frequencies, offering a fusion of sound and imagery.
At its core, the visualizer leverages Belgian scientist Johan Gielis’ superformula, a mathematical equation that generates shapes commonly found in nature. The outlines evolve in response to the frequencies and dynamics of any given song, creating a seamless connection between audio and visuals.
Designed with a focus on experimental electronic music, Armlet turns unconventional sound design and transform it into evolving, organic visuals. The result is a audiovisual presentation that bridges the gap between what we hear and what we see, offering audiences an immersive experience.
