Virtual Color Organ

The virtual color organ is an ongoing project between artist Jack Ox a Research Scholar at the University of New Mexico and graphics programmer and architect
Dave Britt. The team creates visual maps of the deep structures of music.
Take a look at the project here: http://virtualcolororgan.com/index.html or view it here:




Ox describes this project as a "self-authored system for translating extant compositions into visual performance involving Information theory with a complex layering of systems."

The art works which have emerged from this process have embodied principles of Intermedia, a combination of structural elements which come from more than one medium but are combined into one, basically the theory that describes the intersection of art and technology.
