Illustrator and art director Marina Esmeraldo finds it hard to have hobbies. One day, after years of engaging with music as a passionate fan, she decided to learn the bass guitar. Playing bass should’ve been a way to disconnect from her digital-based design practice, but instead of a hobby it became a project, and a question:

What if the artwork she made could react to the music she played?

Sound & Vision—a collaboration with filmmaker Ross McClure—takes you through Marina's journey of discovery, experimentation; frustration and elation.
