Sound Colour Space

Project

A "virtual museum" displays knowledge exhibits about the relationship between sound, colour and space in music theory. The exhibits take the theories of philosophers such as Robert Fludd, Renรฉ Descartes and Isaac Newton as their starting point and examine them from theoretical, scientific and artistic points of view. The virtual museum presents, on the one hand, an extensive collection of historical diagrams on this subject and, on the other, interactive and artistic ways of studying them.

The media documents and data about the exhibits are all kept in the Media Archive. This means that they have been archived for the future but at the same time they can be accessed in the virtual museum in a form which is appropriate to their content.
