CCAM Wednesday Wisdom: Resounding Nature & Turing’s Sunflower
Resounding Nature is an arts-forward research initiative that transforms real-time ecological data into music and immersive sound, helping us hear environmental change and listen for tipping points in living systems.
Details
In this hands-on Wednesday Wisdom workshop, participants will use accessible tools to create their own data-to-sound sketches, mapping streams of numbers into musical gestures and generative structures they can build upon.
We’ll also trace these experiments to Alan Turing’s enduring legacy, exploring themes from Matthew Suttor's opera I AM ALAN TURING: from computation as a way of modeling nature to the sunflower as a living symbol of emergence, through Fibonacci phyllotaxis and other generative patterns where biology, mathematics, and imagination converge.
This Wednesday Wisdom event is designed and taught by Matthew Suttor (CCAM Program Manager and Senior Lecturer, Yale College) and Konrad Kaczmarek (Associate Professor Adjunct, Department of Music).
