Cortical Flow #1: What are you thinking, computer?

Cortical Flow #1 is an artistic rendering of a computer simulation of the cerebral cortex thinking.

The soundtrack is a sonification of this artificial brain’s activity using algorithms inspired by quantum mechanics.

The poem is in Vōv, a sister language of the Game of Thrones’ Dothraki, created by David J. Peterson for the opera "Lampedusa".

Qālvaik srē mem Bemimik bil slaivā

Translation:

You will destroy this land We must take your songs

Technical specifications: Cerebral cortex activity modeled using cellular automata. Sonification through granular synthesis, implementing D. Gabor’s acoustic quanta theory. Voice produced with phase vocoding.
