Ever wonder what a photograph sounds like? If so, you can feed it through Photosounder, a program that (among many other things) lets you create new sounds using photographs or fractals. Kind of cool. I wonder if Joel-Peter Witkin‘s photos sound like the fruitless screams, gnashing teeth, and searing flesh of a million tortured souls…
(For those who aren’t familiar, Witkin is kind of a controversial figure. You probably won’t want to click his name up there if you’re at all disturbed by photographs of cadavers, disembodied human parts—including heads—and physically deformed people. Personally, I really don’t care for his work, but feel free to see how you feel about it. Ya been warned.)
