LUMINA is an advanced audiovisual laboratory.
It is neither a simple scanner nor a synthesizer: it is an organism that interprets images as acoustic matter, tearing them into grains, spectra, glitches, and luminous displacements that are transformed into waves, densities, and pulses.
What does LUMINA do?
-Scans images pixel by pixel, slicing through them with a luminous line that triggers real-time sound. -Converts RGB values into frequencies, granular textures, structured noise, distortion, and modulation. -Generates modulated echoes, reverberations driven by a physical impulse response, and LFO-controlled delays that synchronize with the visual composition. -Applies visual filters—invert, threshold, noise, pixelate, edges—that simultaneously affect the sonic reading. -Adds static glitch artifacts that translate into tonal fluctuations and abrupt spectral drops.
Process
-The user loads an image. -LUMINA adapts, filters, and decomposes it. -Once scanning is activated, the luminous line traverses the canvas. -Every scanned pixel produces sound based on its color, brightness, and position. -The sound engine reacts, modulates, and sculpts the resulting signal. -The user can record clean audio output via the built-in MediaRecorder.
