Sina Technology News reported on the 27th, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), that an Australian digital artist has found a way to design textile patterns with sound.

The Australian is named Pierre Proske, who has developed computer software that can convert different frequencies of a person's voice into spiral patterns, creating what he calls "sonic fingerprints." Proske developed this software while pursuing a master's degree in crafts at the University of Gothenburg’s IT Faculty in Sweden. He used this software to design a pattern inspired by elements from Japanese textiles, which appealed to him due to its simple repetitive elements.
