Hyperupic is an image to sound transducer implemented on a NeXT
workstation. That's right, with Hyperupic you might be able to hear
Whistler's mother. I think that he did all the whistling, actually.
Hyperupic is inspired by the Upic system conceived by Iannis Xenakis.
Feed Hyperupic a TIFF image, and Hyperupic will convert it into a
sound. Hyperupic has the facility of using color has a sonic parameter.
Hyperupic is free. Give it to your friends. Show it to your mother.
I won't make you feel guilty (yet) for using my software. You can
even claim that you wrote Hyperupic yourself! If you do this though,
you might fall through the next subway grating that you trust will
hold your weight.
Hyperupic has on-line infotainment, including documentation.
It is available via ftp at:
