INTRODUCTION
I wanted to create a visual representation of how many sounds are created in my living room, like who it's coming from, what's causing them, and the intensity of the sound! I managed to compile these 3 elements using lines, dots, and colors. I used an analog clock to display when these sounds occured and used a gradience to signify the intensity of the sound. All the squiggles are Beings and the Dots represent intensity of sound/ appliances.
My goal was to tell a story with sound, so I added specific details to my visual, for example; when 2 squiggles run on top of each other they are squabbling, if they run side by side together all is well. The abundance of dots in a section conveys just how loud that moment was. It was important to me that I made it clear that this depiction of my living room is the way I perceive it
