Sound of Vision explores the dynamics of audience perception as biofeedback from viewers is used to create a live soundtrack for silent films. EEG brainwaves of three audience members are mapped to musical notes producing a sound projection of the cognitive reception of the film.

Sound and video artist Andrew Demirjian performs a live mapping and mix of the participant’s brainwave data creating solos, duets and trios of audience member’s visual reception. Grammy nominated clarinetist Don Byron and jazz pianist Lewis Porter improvise in response to the sounds of the brainwaves creating a call and response between the visual, sonic and psyche.
