LISSAJOUS

  • Rocco Natale

Lissajous is a complex Audio-Video signal generator, inspired on Jules Antoine Lissajous works, able to describe sound oscillations as XY matrix functions in order to create complex graphics curves such as Lissajous or Bowditch figures. It allows observation of constantly varying signal voltage of two Audio signals as function of time.

Video generated by sound can be controlled in many different ways giving to the user the possibility of a whole new range of interactions. 

This media project is born with the purpose of investigate about relation between sound and vision, chaos and order, closely related with astronomy, mathematics & physics, in order to explore the field of harmony and disorder and dipping the user in an elegant, dreamlike, minimalistic, chaotic space which express the values that reflect the complex rules of the universe in all its abstract beauty.

Lissajous is a close look at a living galaxy. It’s a universe of shapes.
