Made in Japan [A Selective Commons Endeavor to include, but is not limited to: photography, cinema, literature, comics, art, design, illustration, architecture, automotives, sports, travel, humour, history, cats, gravure, music, and game shows.]

relevant trivia: The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is some times referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun".

Measureless beauty, inspired by hallucinations.

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama - who has notably lived in a psychiatric institution
for the last four decades - has been obsessed with dots and infinity for her entire
career, an inspiration she attributes directly to her hallucinations. In an attempt
to share her experiences, she creates installations that immerse the viewer in her
obsessive vision of dots or infinitely mirrored space.

The Process of Selection

 

Audible Color by Hideaki Matsui and Momo Miyazaki
Generative Design Workshop 2012 with Joshua Noble and Daviid Gauthier
Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (technical de-limiter?)


Audible color is an audio-visual instrument. Sound is generated based on color
detected by a web cam connected to a computer. Red, green and blue correspond with
certain music notes. When the colors are mixed, the resulting secondary colors produce different notes.

The size of the colors influences the volume and frequency of the notes played.
Color detection and sound generation were created and are controlled using Processing code.
The system of audible color is based on a marriage between basic color and music theories.
The colors of red, blue, and green are the visual foundation for color-mixing and the music
notes A, D, and F are the base triad that corresponds to the colors. The secondary colors
(colors made when the foundational three are mixed) of purple, teal and brown are tuned to
the musical triad C, E and G. The visual of the mixing of red, blue and/or green mirrors the
aural output of combined notes.


The ‘painting’ aspect is not restricted to water droplets from a pipette.
Numerous experiments were performed using substances such as acrylic paint,
food dye in milk with soap, and ordinary household objects. Each investigation
created a new type of fun and easy gestural music-making.

Summer days shall last forever (in a time long forgotten)
(intriguing, sporting, sophomoric, tittilating and hilariously subverted)

I do not know the series and/or author - I think it better displayed sans true context
(yet the video's image thumbnail above, plus my descriptors, add to the unraveling of the joy of the plausible scenario in which one just randomly stumbles upon this video after watching seven previous youtube videos.)
