The aim of the project is to translate classical music into a visual language by extracting symbols from it. Helping the viewer understand the depth within an art form and how it can influence another art form. Experimenting to see how music can influence a visual form and vice versa. Intriguing the human senses to actually feel rather than just seeing or hearing; creating a sensory experience.
Relating the classical piece; Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, to how we long to achieve certain things in life and the pleasure we feel even if we are close to achieving them or see them within our reach. We may even take these longings to our graves and perhaps we are given something better for it in the afterlife instead or perhaps it may keep haunting us there as well. This uncertain and dream-like situation of longing and hope is sometimes what gives us a purpose and keeps our drive to keep going alive.
The design aim is to translate the symbols in the piece into visuals, step by step, to describe the journey one goes through in the effort to achieve something.
