More info here: Subverting traditional linkages between media and the sensing body, Mutable Transmissions sets forth an alternate vision of light as voltage, and of voltage as sound. Selfgenerating sonic clouds and throbbing visuals emerge in a synesthetic feedback loop, reimagining the utility of media machines. A modular eurorackformat synthesizer and video projection setup are interfaced together via a series of light sensors. As a video output is projected, these light sensors convert varying light levels into varying voltage signals. As control voltages, these signals are fed into modules of the modular synthesizer in pre
