Artist Statement

This work is the fruit of research carried out at the Art-Science interface concerning relationships between the sonic and visual domains. Sound objects are digitized and submitted to a sonographic analysis. The scientific images thus obtained are reworked within particular esthetic perspective and result in Cibrachrome images. Sound is transplanted to the visual domain without any cognitive intention. The problem lies in the pertinence of the translation of forms from sensorial field to another.
