Abstract
Parameter mapping sonification is a powerful tool for data display and analysis with uses in a myriad of fields of study. Despite the wide range of applications, parameter mapping sonification remains abstruse for people to utilize effectively. This article outlines an original design in the domain of parameter mapping sonification applications for a flexible, extensible and intuitive web app that democratizes this data display method. Sonification Interface for REmapping Nature (SIREN) accomplishes these goals through an accessible interface for sonification that demonstrates various web technologies, including Web Audio API. Existing frameworks are compared in five different areas—technology, design, functionality, accessibility, and extensibility—to determine the optimal gap for SIREN.
期刊介绍:
Leonardo was founded in 1968 in Paris by kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina. Malina saw the need for a journal that would serve as an international channel of communication between artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. Today, Leonardo is the leading journal for readers interested in the application of contemporary science and technology to the arts.
