Sounds of Things – Let’s translate sounds into graphics:
The act of translating sound into image is particularly resonant in the digital space, where the sound of a thing becomes data, and data becomes a graphic form, shifting across formats in real time.
Taking the form of an abecedary, an alphabet-based sequence in which each letter becomes the starting point for an audiovisual graphic, this visual identity becomes a translator between sight and earring.
For every letter, I selected an idea that relates directly to the letter itself (A = Arbre(=Tree)).
This led to a visual that is reactive to sound and grounds the work in both linguistic meaning and visual association.
From there, sound and image come together in short videos, forming the first layer of translation.
The audio from each composition is then used to generate a visual infographic, a reactive form that reflects the structure, rhythm, and texture of the sound itself.
Beyond its technical structure, the project invites a more poetic reading of how sound is made visible.
Just as in nature, where sound takes shape in the flutter of a bird, this work attempts to echo that phenomenon in a digital infographic environment.
It asks:
How technology might interpret sound with a sensitivity different from ours, allowing it to be seen and read.
Presented through two posters, a teaser video, and live demonstrations, the project stands at the intersection of graphic design and interactive design, where the alphabet becomes a space for layered interpretation and sensorial translation.
The result is not just a set of 26 pieces, but a system that explores the transformation of language into sound, image, and responsive form.
