"Code in Nature: Sound Lens" is an interactive sonification program that intertwines users' vocal expressions with a generative system of algorithms based on Cellular Automata. It visualizes the sonorous balance of nature's elements:air, earth, fire, and water, revealing the ecological principles of interrelation and mutual influence of human, nature and computation.

This project is open-ended. As participants utter the phrase “What am I,” the program reflects on their inherent connection to nature, transforming their voice in real-time with sounds modulated by the elements' dance. It's an inquiry into humanity's role in the natural world, urging self-reflection through a technological mirror of our environment.

The interface is designed to look like a cell phone, one reason is that it represents how we view nature more and more only through the lens of technology; the other reason is that it has a meaning of when our future generation see this with higher-tech devices, they could also see nature through the lens as we did today.The purpose  of this project is to provoke audiences’ thoughts on the relationship between human and nature.
