'The creation of visual art—such as a painting, sculpture, or digital image—in direct response to a written text or poem. It inverts traditional ekphrasis, which is the use of descriptive writing or poetry inspired by a physical work of art.'
We can expand upon this:
'Intertranslational art" generally refers to intersemiotic translation and multimodal artistic practices—the process where ideas, feelings, or data are translated across different sensory, linguistic, or artistic mediums (such as turning a poem into a soundscape, scientific data into a painting, or language learning through visual art) .
"Our intertranslational art projects, employ reverse ekphrasis by taking the written word and evolving it into multi-sensory environments—translating poetic text into tangible multimedia sculpture, generative soundscapes, and live performance."
There is a dialogue, a bridge, and a metamorphosis between these mediums.
Through intertranslational art we give multidimensionality to the written word.
