Artist Diego Trujillo Pisanty created a camera that uses AI to turn sound into images. The images he creates are really surreal and captivating to me, you can sometimes see basic outlines of the things he’s capturing (like the metro or a car) but there’s this otherworldly quality to the images that makes me feel kind of dizzy.
I think this is a really interesting idea, but his scope was pretty narrow (only in Mexico City) and I wish I could see the tool used in other applications like in a park, or in the countryside since the noise is totally different there than in a bustling city. I think if I had access to this tool, I would want to use it to record some of the aspects of every day life that are known for causing hearing damage. Like planes, concerts, gunshots etc. I’m interested in seeing a visual representation of the hearing damage being caused.
