Robert discusses his work in data sonification in this video, which features the MIDEN and the Toroidal Universe project from 1:07 to 1:52.
Robert Alexander, a Ph.D. student in Design Science, uses the sun to make music.
In the winter 2012 semester, he teamed with Danielle Battaglia, a senior in Art & Design, to compose and integrate audio effects into her conceptual formal model of the Toroidal Universe. Danielle combined Plato’s notion of the universe as a dodecahedron with modern notions of black holes, worm holes, and child universes. Their multi-sensory multiverse came together in the MIDEN and was exhibited there as part of the Art & Design senior integrative art exhibition in April 2012.
