‘Looks Like Music’, an installation at MUDAM Luxembroug by Japanese designer Yuri Suzuki, is one intriguing look at colour and music. Yuri created the Colour Chaser, a small robot that “detects and follows a circuit – a black line traced in marker pen – interspersed with coloured reference points that the device translates in sound”. In other words, a user can draw a black line, add whatever colour scribble tickles their fancy and this kick-ass robot will read that RGB colour data into music. The exhibition at MUDAM Luxembroug allowed visitors to create a large-scale piece of collaborative art and sound. In an interview with Dezeen, Yuri said, “I am dyslexic and I cannot read musical scores. However, I have a passion to play and create new music and I always dream to create new notation of music.” This installation is a brilliant showcase of how colour, technology and music can intersect. Perhaps one day, a band will yell “this needs more turquoise!” while recording their album? Just imagine how beautiful the sheet music would be…
