Chroma Loops

Desktop Java applet that translates color sequences into sound loops.
Pick colors from an uploaded photo or the color chart and play the sequence in a loop.
The translation is based on converting red, green and blue color values (0 - 255 each) of picked colors to MIDI values (21 - 108).
Each color will be "played" as a broken three-tone chord.

Chromapost Outgrowths Booklet

Chromapost Outgrowths is a series of artworks where the colors contained in the online Chromapost diary are translated using different media. Since the original color is basically computer data, every manifestation of the color is a translation, and will appear differently in each medium through which it has been manifested. The outgrowths are grouped into three sets of artworks depending on the approach used for color translation.
