Cognitive and Structural Approaches to Contemporary Audiovisual Computer Aided Composition

Project start date: 2006-02 Project end date: 2010-02
Recent research in Neuroscience supports the long-held belief of many in the Visual arts and Experimental music community that there is a sensory connection between our experience of sound and our experience of light. This research aims to discover and reveal novel concepts in the creation of audiovisual works using techniques uncovered through developments in the understanding of our engagement with audiovisual material through collaboration, consultation, experimentation, software development, Audiovisual composition practice, Film making, Digital Media practice, Computer Music research, generative and algorithmic exploration and Artificial Intelligence research.
