Looking Outwards 04: Visual Sounds of the Amazon

This is a responsive artwork by Andy Thomas that visualizes the sounds of the Amazon he recorded. While this isn’t a rare concept, I think Thomas did a very good job with animating the 3D models and textures. The sound has adds a third element and extends the impact of the computer generated visuals, culminating in an extremely dynamic animation. https://vimeo.com/229927018 

I really appreciate that the animation sort of became an animal itself simply through the natural feeling of the motion. It’s almost elastic in nature, thus even though the shapes take on an amorphous form, it still feels slightly familiar through it’s motion.
