Imagine is an interactive art project inspired by John Lennon’s pacifist message, which unites music and art on the same canvas.
The drawing is created through graphic arts that utilize lines, called soundwaves, modeled from musical audio input.
The artwork is visible in two formats: the static version on canvas and the animated version on multimedia video. The interactive art in this project is a form of dynamic art that uses digital visual techniques to make the sign interact with the sound.
The music of Gemina is a radical sonic reinvention of John Lennon's masterpiece. Based on the notes of the melody of Imagine, Lucaburo built a new track. The resulting audio is an abstract reflection of Lennon's legacy, aiming to engage in a subtle yet profound dialogue with the exhibited images, transforming the act of listening into a visual and conceptual experience.The project encourages the audience to imagine a world of peace without religions, divisions, borders, materialism and violence
