Project Start Date October 2021


The Digital Humanities Lab (DH Lab) will develop a 'sonification toolkit,' flexible digital tools that will enable conversion of data sets (images, text, statistics) into sound in ways that quickly yield results. These tools will allow users to easily modify and adapt the ways the data is expressed to design and sculpt sound that is aesthetically satisfying and analytically illuminating. undergraduate research associates (UROPs) will define and develop a range of practices, then devise digital tools to quickly transform data sets of all types into a variety of sonified results.
