About

This project was envisioned as a way to educate people about cancer by appealing to the senses rather than overwhelming them with technical information. We achieve this by “giving” music “cancer”. Parts from the original piece are randomly chosen to “mutate”, where they continuously repeat the same several measures. When these parts repeat, they have a random probability to “mutate” and change their contents. Please check out the demo site to find out more.

This paper was accepted for ACM SIGCHI 2024.

Our work was also mentioned in my school’s newsletter on February 29th, 2024.
