Figures & data
Figure 1. KIMA Colour: Van Gogh – Still from the artwork – Analema Group 2020. The artwork maps colour palettes in Vincent VanGogh’s A Wheatfield with Cypresses onto sound events and visualises these as a 360 video with corollary 360 soundscape. The Analema Group created the artwork in a residency at National Gallery, London and revisited them in focus groups with Royal National Institute of the Blind in 2022 to inform design decisions on participation, facilitation and accessibility.
Figure 2. KIMA Colour: Monet – Still from the artwork – Analema Group 2020. This is a still from the 360 video and soundscape as commissioned by National Gallery as part of the Analema Group’s residency at National Gallery X in June 2020.
Figure 3. KIMA Colour: Max MSP patch translating colour into sounds – Analema Group 2020. This image shows the Max MSP interface for ambisonic sound that receives OSC messages on colour values from the original paintings in the National Gallerys collection that are then translated into sound events. These sound events are then forwarded via OSC messages back to Analema Group’s Touchdesigner patch that reciprocally translates these sounds into visual events – effectively creating an audio-visual feedback loop for the participants.

Figure 9. KIMA Colour Still from 360 Artwork, Analema Group 2020. Based on feedback from RNIB participants, visual sound representation of colour was aided by a contextual sound layer, featuring a voice recording of Vincent Van Gogh’s letters to his brother, which helped to provide a layer of cultural context.
