Kenji Kojima – The Effect of Cataracts on Late Years Claude Monet – United States

Seeing and hearing overlap with each piece of visual and sound information. For this, a program that extracts music from image painting was developed. This project interpreted four paintings by Claude Monet in his late years, when he suffered from cataracts, as the visual data of 12-tone music by binary analysis. All media in human history are now converted and recorded in digital data as binary.
