metallic spheres in colour, 2023

In an era where art intersects so frequently with technology, this artwork signifies the fusion of both. Presented as a limited-edition fine art print to celebrate the album Metallic Spheres in Colour – a collaboration between The Orb and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour – the spirit of the album was reimagined through data visualisation using sonic data.

This project saw the transformation of recurring rituals – specifically the act of listening and taking notes about songs – into a visually stimulating narrative. The process began with analysing sonic data from the album's tracks. Each track's unique acoustic signature was transformed into circular, abstract visuals. This transmutation of sound to sight was both a technical and artistic challenge – countless hours were spent sketching, experimenting, and fine-tuning, using hand-drawn sketches and a system of purposefully developed digital tools. The result was a visualisation that was both mathematically precise and emotionally evocative.

This work joins with a wider exploration of sound transmutation in Tiziana’s portfolio. Visualisation of emotions abounds. Using sonic data, artworks capture moments of grief and passion, weaving audio recordings from life into detailed, circular abstract visuals.
