Meandering Media
Meandering Sound

Martin Schneider: Vignette Explorer (2010)
About
In this lecture we will look at sound signals as meandering curves in time.
- Mathematical Functions — in the 1st part, we will learn how to create curves using mathematical functions.
- Curves of Sound — in the 2nd part, we will learn how to make audible curves in time and space.
Goals
- Basics of mathematical functions
- Polar coordinates
- Harmonic synthesizer
- Sound synthesis in Processing

Meandering Video
About
In this lecture will consider look at video signals as meandering curves through space and time.
Goals

The Meandering Mind

Martin Schneider: MotionGram Explorer
About
In this lecture we will have look at electric, mechanic, and biological systems and how their trajectories can be analyzed using data visualisation and sonification.
Goals
- motiongrams and motionmaps
- working with EEG, EKG, EMG data
- quantified self
Literature
Here's some literature that may be relevant for students taking the project module of Ursula Damm:
- Edwin R. Lewis: Using electronic circuits to model simple neuroelectric interactions (1968)
