Spring. Coming Soon.

So, we were taken for a ride for a few days, a few days of sunshine and relatively lower temperatures. And then suddenly the cold wind was back, then it snowed again. Today, it rained. Teh teaser trailer is over. And during the tease i got all excited and packed up most of my warmer clothes. But i shall not take them out again, its my mutiny for now... winter.. go away!

I realize...

When I go the the bathroom, my hands instinctly go for the lightswitch! And if someone left the light on (which they shouldn't have, conserve energy people!) I tend to turn it off from this reflex action! Then its left to turning it back on, it helps aim.

Nostalgia Rings

I notice a lot of people using the old analog phone's ringing sound (the good ol' kring kring!) on their cell phone! I guess we all miss it. After a while of playing around with mp3 ring tones and the polyphone kinds, a lot just go back to that kring kring.

Information. Sonification.

Graphs help visualize information. It is also something which is being explored by artists by various other means of visualization to create artworks that work on the concepts of databases and narrative power of objects arranged in such manner.

Sounds are now also being used in such manner by artists to 'sonify' data and thus creating original and interesting results.
