LOUDER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS takes the halftone patterns created from photographing urban landscapes and combines them with the forms, lines, and clusters made by swarms of birds in flight. Continuous translation and rearrangement of the singular highlights the physicality and universality of the pattern language that emerges from manipulating visual information in this way. Adapting the processes of hand weaving and screen printing to a digital framework through data sonification, this work explores the interplay between the invisible and the material.
