Interpreting Data through Creative Audiovisualisation (IDCA) – Progress, pitfalls and potential ways forward.
This talk presents work currently taking place as part of an RSE-funded Fellowship exploring the potential of simultaneous audiovisualisation as a means of both data exploration and compositional structuring. It discusses three of the specific datasets currently being explored, the outcomes of those explorations and the challenges of balancing the requirement for clarity in data presentation with the want and need to create engaging pieces of audiovisual work. Ultimately, it poses the question “is it possible to create audiovisual works that both communicate data and are aesthetically satisfying for the composer?”.
