LAVA @ PRAx, highlights the intersection of technology and art. Our project converts audio into dynamic visuals using a microphone, LAVA Board, and software. The LAVA Board enhances and digitizes the audio signal, while the software maps frequency data to vibrant images projected onto a screen. A Kinect camera tracks user movement, adding interactivity to the visuals. Multi-colored LEDs on the LAVA Board provide signal strength feedback throughout the process. LAVA follows the goals of the PRAx building as it highlights the intersection of arts and technology. Being in a public space, the installation allows students and the community to engage with technology driven art first hand.
