Kenji Kojima – What Madame Cézanne was thinking – United States

All media in human history are now converted and recorded in digital data as binary. Seeing and hearing overlap with each piece of visual and sound information. With this in mind, Kenji Kojima developed a program that extracts music from image painting. Using this program the artist interpreted Madame Cézanne’s seven almost same-posed portraits as the visual data of 12-tone music by binary analysis.
