COLORS OF NOISE #4

2023

Kim Asendorf ↗

Medium: Real-time audiovisual generative animation
Materials & process: Browser-based generative software; Ethereum token.
Dimensions: Variable display dimensions.
Edition: Output #4 in an edition of 50.

The work connects the behavior of the image to noise understood through sound, producing an audiovisual study of frequency and perception.

Released through Feral File in 2023, COLORS OF NOISE uses real-time WebGL animation and sound. The language of white, pink and brown noise provides a framework for relating different distributions of energy to what the viewer sees and hears. Fine marks coalesce into larger rhythms without settling into a fixed composition.

Provenance

Created in 2023; token released on 18 May 2023. Output #4 in an edition of 50.
