Breathing Room | Online
Additional Information
Breathing Room | Online is an audiovisual artwork that employs javascript libraries for WebAudio and WebGL to generate colour-field/afterimage sequences in parallel with sound fields of shifting harmonics. There are two iterations: the audio for iteration one that targets desktop platforms is generated using an online synthesizer coded on Tone.js; iteration two targets both mobile and desktop platforms using phasing loops that are encoded for binaural surround sound.
Both iterations employ the same algorithm for the generative visuals; colour fields continually remake themselves in compositions that emerge and fade away, leaving afterimages that float into the white canvas.
Breathing Room | Online creates an invisible and silent Z space populated with countless visual fields and audio compositions. As the generative program runs this space expands; audiovisual events appear as living presences that oscillate between possibility and contingency.
