"In November 2013, Arie van Beek agreed to wear motion sensors while he conducted a performance of Verdi's Requiem. The data produced from van Beek's moment-to-moment movement was translated by computer into a series of seven three-dimensional curves representing the main sections of the Requiem. Students on BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts used the seven digital curves to generate computer-generated synesthetic forms that reflected their own impressions from listening to Verdi's Requiem. The resulting forms were then translated again - from virtual shapes on screen into seven physical sculptures laser-cut from sheet steel."
