Bonner Durchmusterung (2010)
Alberto de Campo (sonification), Carsten Goertz (visualization)
The Bonn Patternization takes up the tradition of the relationship between astronomy and music and attempts to attain an epistemological exchange between both. How does one come from a complex series of numbers to an understanding of the objects or even to a consistent phenomenology of the cosmos, and what role could sound play in this? Conversely there is an appeal in deriving interesting acoustic events and musical structures from complex theoretical models of particle physics and astrophysics.
