“This is aRt,” combines data visualization and sonification techniques to create immersive media art. The piece showcases dynamic visual elements that represent data patterns through evolving shapes and textures. Simultaneously, these visuals trigger an evolving soundscape, where data attributes are transformed into musical elements. Ghayem explores data in a multisensory way, providing an extensive perspective on the data’s underlying meaning and aesthetics. This fusion of visual and auditory elements aims to bridge the gap between data and artistic expression, offering a unique and thought-provoking encounter.
