Noise is an audio enhanced optical illusion device.

Noise is an audio enhanced optical illusion device. It explores the connection between auditory white noise and visible static noise through moving body as the viewer moves in space to observe the still image pattern, which moves in different ways following viewer’s change of perspectives and induce optical illusion. The body motion also modulates frequency and panning in auditory noise in different directions which directly corresponds to the changes in optical illusion as well as the body motion.
