Pixels And Sound Merge To Make Colors Of Noise From Kim Asendorf On Feral File

Renewing the public affection for pixel-based works of art, digital creator Kim Asendorf has minted a run of colour and sound themed pieces on the Ethereum network via Feral File. A cool 0.25 ETH each, all but three of the fifty originals are available to own as non-fungible tokens. The concept might seem complex at first, in which sounds generated by colour via computer code are projected into a Moire pattern style visual output. Taking something visual and applying a function to produce something else visual that describes the original scene is analogous to many of life’s processes.
 
The entire experience of Kim Asendorf’s work involves the sound of the colour played alongside the visual display. As we can experience this simultaneous expression of translation, the scope of information’s ability to adapt and reproduce is exhibited. Being able to see various colours in action through the medium of pixel-based visuals, we can see how their influence on our lives can be determined. We know that white noise is good for helping us to sleep, other colours of noise have different properties we can also make use of. The unique algorithm used in Colors Of Noise is designed to be coherent with this psychological principle.
 
The audio-visual experience that is contained within each of the 50 pieces of art can be described as multi-sensory and unique. The vibrancy of the audio soundscape is only enhanced by the retro-esque visuals made into static pictures for us to observe. The vastness of the work encapsulates the massive influence of colour on our psychology and subconscious. If the various qualities of subtle difference in frequency can be shown with a stable platform such as this, we can only guess as to how the much more complicated mechanism of the brain is put to work by their various inputs.
