What is SoundCircles?

SoundCircles is a visualisation of personal publicly available data. I have investigated how I can use simple tag clouds to make sense out of data which are publicly available about myself, in particular results from search engines. I tried to associate them with sound and colour so that I can experience my digital-self in a multisensory way.

The objective is to offer users another experience with their publicly available data which might encourage them to publish information more consciously.

The project combines aspects of Visual and Interaction Design with views on Cognitive Aspects of Human Psychology and considers relevant Social, Cultural and Technological Contexts. It is embedded in a Critical Design approach.
SoundCircles was developed as part of my resolution unit in the MA Design for Digital Media-Program at the University of Portsmouth, UK.
