The Sonic Wire Sculptor is one of several works that the musician Amit Pitaru made around 2003 to explore basic connections between sound and visuals. The "SWS" is a musical instrument which has been shown in museums and galleries world wide. A later version was created as a public installation where the SWS would be placed in the center of a room and connected to an 8-channel surround system. In every stop, the audience recorded their works into what has now become a library of thousands of sonic sculptors. In 2010 an iPhone version was created by Zach Gage with Amit's support. "The app is easily graspable and intuitive, allowing someone with no musical or drawing background to launch it and start exploring. At the same time SWS goes deep and encourages musicians and artists alike to explore new ideas in their craft". Check it out here http://sws.cc/index.html. Amit Pitaru has also developed a 3d drawing tool called Rhonda Forever, I think that if this software gets on the right hands or gets funds, it could be used as a platform to build more and change the future of 3d modeling and sculpting.
