Ātman

Ātman

An artistic recreation of the cosmos in sound and light.

Ātman is rooted in the metaphysical principles of Yoga Science, which describe the origin of creation as arising from the AUM vibration—the primordial field of sound and light. In Yoga, Ātman—the Self—is the creative principle behind all manifestation. Just as the universe emerges from a combination of cosmic vibration, cosmic law, and cosmic consciousness, so too does each artwork emerge from a fusion of vibration manifesting as sound, algorithmic systems, and consciousness.

In this way, the artist becomes Ātman: the unseen principle initiating creation. Algorithms act as cosmic laws, transforming pure sound vibrations into form. Through a system of image-processing algorithms, each piece begins with audio data—encoded in MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) signals—which flows into a chain of generative processes. The algorithms interpret frequency, amplitude, and phase to shape and alter the image, governed by layers of randomness, probability, and structural design.

This results in a living system, one that continues to generate new forms as long as sound feeds it. Each final image is a singular expression, a visual echo of an invisible sound—a rare and unrepeatable moment in a field of infinite possibilities.

But the process does not end with the algorithm. The artist intervenes, selecting, refining, and guiding the outcome—bringing intuition, taste, and intent to what was born out of chance. This final human imprint completes the cycle, mirroring the way the universe itself is both lawful and intelligent.

By using vibrations generated directly from the cosmic field to trigger and control the algorithm, the art piece can trace its origin all the way back to the Supreme Ātman—the Universal Field.

The result becomes not just a picture, but a cosmic snapshot:

A vibration captured in light.
An image born of sound.
A microcosm of the macrocosm.
