Abstract: | Numbers have been identified with symbolic data forever. The profound association of both with acoustics, music, and sonic
art from Pythagoras to current work is beyond reproach. Recently, sonification looks for ways to realize symbolic data (representing
results or measurements) as well as “raw” data (signals, impulses, images, etc.) into compositions. In the strictest sense,
everything in a computer is symbolic, that is, represented by 0s and 1s. In the arts, the digital age has broadened and enhanced
the conceptual landscape not simply through its servitude to the creative process, but as its partner. However, there is a
rich history of the use of data that no doubt has paved the way for many of today’s experiments including my own. |
