LO Week 09:

I looked at LIA, specifically their ‘ ProximityOfNeeds 20210428 ’ (2021) project that is now on auction at a curated NFT collection. I thought it was especially cool how they incorporated sound like we are learning in class, to match the visuals being created on screen. It’s quite a satisfying change in pitch as the shapes are being drawn and the control of them stopping in such a natural clunking way when the spirals come together is really nice too. I really like how the form of the shape in the different versions changes the tone and feel of the sound too.

LIA is a Software Art Company established in 1995 run by Lia who “focuses on the translation of certain experienced principles into abstract forms, movements, and colors in order to allow the viewer to explore the same on a subconscious level” (source: LIA About Page) which is a really fascinating way of thinking about how we experience the digital world and is something that is only going to be more relevant with the rise of AR/VR.
