Soniferous feed

An installation translating twitter conversation into sound

The project “Soniferous feed” aims to translate digital energy from discourses on social media platforms into an audio-visual experience. More and more gatherings of any kind are taking place online. We still have discussions and arguments but the effect on us is not the same. They lack the sensory experience of the crowd. Using a neural network to detect emotions in digital conversations on Twitter, data is taking the role of composing a soundscape based on how the people feel when they are online. Thus, converting the energy of an online discussion to something we can perceive with our senses.
