Midori Yamazaki ("MY") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Sound of Magma Digital Artworks. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
MY : Recreating the sixth sense for sensing changes in nature with technology.
MY : How to communicate to the audience the sixth sense that allows us to sense changes in nature.
MY : To convey to the audience the sixth sense that allows one to detect changes in nature using a different medium.
MY : It took two months, including discussions with collaborators and concept-making.
MY : I was researching visualization of oceanographic information for my master's degree, and I designed this as a further development of that research.
MY : This work is my own creation, and will continue to be so in the future.
MY : I have been experimenting with different ways to express my sixth sense for detecting changes in nature, and this piece was born out of that.
MY : For the general public who need to pay more attention to nature and sense its changes.
MY : This design was created in collaboration with researchers and is scientifically backed.
MY : To emphasize that the piece is about the sound of magma, which cannot normally be heard, I named it simply "Sound of Magma."
MY : I mainly used audio software and video software.
MY : We collaborated with volcanologists at the Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo.
