ABSTRACT
With a photograph being frozen in stasis and principally affecting the visual sense, this chapter attempts to investigate how making an image audible can generate a reanimation of a photograph. By using the pixel data from a digitized image as a basis for sonification and generation of haptics from the output, it seeks to explore how an individual can metaphorically feel and hear a person via an image alone. Examining the relationship with sound and image through the use of the SUBPAC has been undertaken in events such "Sound in Pictures" in which deaf and hard of hearing participants incorporated the device to gain haptic feedback when creating experimental film and animation. SUB-PAC is placed on a chair and the audience are invited to engage with the installation by sitting whilst the output of the generative composition is played through the device. In doing so the aim is to provide the audience with multisensory experience of the photograph in sound.
