Sounds of a Factory: WAV to PNG

Original title: Sounds of a Factory: WAV to PNG

Sounds of a Factory: WAV to PNG translates factory recordings sampled from Youtube into visual noise patterns using scripting and databending techniques. Sound is segmented into micro-temporal units and algorithmically reinterpreted as grayscale pixel values. Rather than representing industrial labor, the work reenacts its operational logic: repetition, synchronization and normalization. The pulsating grain and the looping structure situate the viewer inside a rhythmic system in which perception itself becomes a site of power.
