epi-thet is a mixed media sound installation activated by the audience created by Melbourne artists Madeleine Flynn, Tim Humphrey and Jesse Stevens. The artwork, which was presented by Melbourne International Arts Festival and supported by Experimenta, uses data from public domain genetic databases to create sound and image. Using an algorithm that maps data from the genetic process to sound parameters, and information drawn simply from posture, a composition unique to each individual participant is created.
