Advanced Beauty is an ongoing exploration of digital artworks born and influenced by sound, an ever-growing collaboration
between programmers, artists, musicians, animators and architects.
The first collection is a series of audio-reactive video sound sculptures™. Inspired by synasthesia, the rare, sensory experience of seeing sound or tasting colors, these videos are physical manifestations of sound, sculpted by volume, pitch or structure of the soundtrack.
The films embrace unusual video making processes, the visual programming language Processing, high-end audio analysis and fluid dynamic simulations alongside intuitive responses in traditional cell animation. Each artist was given the same set of parameters to work within; to start, finish and exist within a white space, creating a seamless coherence, all sculptures sharing
the same white environment.
Using 5:1 surround sound, the films transform the screen into a digital canvas, how the minimalism of a single, floating pixel can be as engaging as the maximalism of an intense multicolored explosion.
Curated by design studio Universal Everything the soundtrack by Freefarm, the music studio of Simon Pyke (formerly recording as Freeform on Warp and Skam).
