Outline draft of self-directed research

Introduction

My interests in research: relationships between different types of perception and representation of information (words, images, sounds etz) The way they reflect information and transform one to another. They based on same DNA (information) but take different forms so exhibit different characteristics and attributes.

What are you working on now?

Recently I made my first clumsy attempts towards imagining how different types of media could transform one to another, or better to say, how attributes of one media could establish regulations for another. The outcome is an interactive sketch, that renders text into a visual graphic system. The graphical structures are based on the basic text characteristics such as length of sentences and words, word frequencies and punctuation, ratio of vowels and consonants. The question is whether the outcome tends to reflect 'text tune (mood)’ in certain level or its just fictional associations.

What do you want your first project to be?

The starting point for future studies may be a basic system that allows to bring information to its 'originals', zeroes and ones, break its DNA and construct from this source object belonged to other type of media. Text to an image, sound to text, moving image to sound without any sort of recognition technologies.

How do you plan to make it?

DNA represents a code made up of chemical bases that stores information about an living organism. I was very exited by the resent studies of human DNA and its self repairment mechanisms. I wonder if I have an opportunity to adjust its mechanisms to the 'information DNA'. Experiment with it. Nevertheless its just first thoughts based on excitement of science discoveries. Besides that I am looking around and try to find inspiration in media studies and researches made in past and those that happens now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Aall_Barricelli
