Abstract

CosMonic (COSmos harMONIC) is a sonification project with a triple purpose: analysis (by means of sounds) of any type of data, source of inspiration for artistic creations, and pedagogical and dissemination purposes. In this contribution we present the work recently produced by CosMonic in the latter field, creating specific cases for the inclusive astronomy dissemination project Astroaccesible for blind and partially sighted people, but also aimed at a general public that wants to understand astrophysics in an alternative format. For this project, CosMonic seeks to create simple astronomical cases in their acoustic dimension in order to be easily understood. CosMonic's philosophy for these sonifications can be summarized in a simple metaphor: painting graphs with sounds. Sonification is a powerful tool that helps to enhance visual information. Therefore, CosMonic accompanies its audios with animations, using complementary methods to reach a general public. In addition to providing some cases created by CosMonic for inclusive astronomy, we also share our experience with different audiences, as well as suggest some ideas for a better use of sonification in (global) inclusive outreach.

用声音画图形:宇宙声工程

cosmic (COSmos harMONIC)是一个具有三重目的的声学项目:分析(通过声音)任何类型的数据，为艺术创作提供灵感来源，以及教学和传播目的。在这篇文章中，我们介绍了CosMonic最近在后一个领域的工作，为盲人和弱视人群无障碍的包容性天文学传播项目创造了具体的案例，但也针对希望以另一种形式理解天体物理学的普通公众。在这个项目中，CosMonic试图在声学维度上创造简单的天文案例，以便于理解。我们可以用一个简单的比喻来概括cosmic关于这些声音的理念:用声音来绘制图形。超声是一个强大的工具，有助于增强视觉信息。因此，cosmic将其音频与动画相结合，使用互补的方法来吸引大众。除了提供cosmic为包容性天文学创造的一些案例外，我们还与不同的受众分享我们的经验，并提出一些在(全球)包容性外展中更好地使用超声的想法。
