## ~The Unseen Beauty: Transforming sensibilities expanding from sound into video.~
A project pursuing creativity originating from non-visual perception and senses.
ePARA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toda City, Saitama; CEO: Daiki Kato), which works on discovering the individuality of people with disabilities and creating opportunities for social participation, will release works born from the video expression project 'The Unseen Beauty,' which originates from perception and senses that do not rely on vision.
In this project, four visually impaired individuals (completely blind) act as video directors, expressing images expanding from sound as music videos through generative AI.
As the first work of this project, the music video for the original song 'CROWN (Water Remix)', an arranged version of the song 'CROWN' by the human beatbox crew SARUKANI, will be released worldwide today, Wednesday, April 8, on SARUKANI's official YouTube and The Unseen Beauty special website.
## Transforming sensibilities expanding from sound into video.
## What is the video expression challenged by visually impaired (completely blind) creators?
This project started from the hypothesis that 'new creativity will be demonstrated by producing videos originating from perception and senses without relying on vision.'
In this video production, the human beatbox crew SARUKANI's song 'CROWN' was interpreted based on the sensibilities of four visually impaired individuals to construct a storyline. By utilizing generative AI to visualize it and further arranging the song to match the worldview and story of the video, it was completed as a work where sound and video go back and forth.
What was born in this way is an expression constructed not by reproducing scenery or stories, but based on the images rising from the interpretation of sound.
The music video can be viewed on SARUKANI's official YouTube, and a documentary movie following the production process of this project is available on...
