More about the project ‘Remix Science: The sound of data’
The project is centred around the transformation of scientific data into music via data sonification. First scientific data will be collected, then transformed into “bricks” of music, which will then be used by musicians to compose music. Finally, the music will be played to the public in live performances. During the process conferences and communication activities will be organised to engage with the public.
