note = "'Vox' is an interactive web-based work, dealing with the contemporary re-working, investigation and research into Aboriginal creation myths, generating sonic compositions from images of the landscape through user interaction. This research and resulting series of on-line artefacts grew out of Johnson's previous AHRB funded research and resultant real-time installation 'Soundscapes', placing this work within a new context and with a potential world-wide audience. Research took place over a period of a year and required a novel software programming approach in dealing with the challenging aspects of interpretation of the image and sound data within a bandwidth-limited delivery medium.

The significance of the research was recognised by funding and support through the competitive Alt-W Scottish Digital Media Fund, a partnership board comprising Scottish Screen, Scottish Enterprise and Dundee City Council amongst others and had its premier at the Celtic Film and Television Festival, Dundee, U.K. from 31st March - 3rd April, 2004.
