I've used this Mac program called MetaSynth that imports pictures, and
"interprets" them as sound. Of course, much like math, the results depend
heavily on *how* the program interprets the picture. I was kinda
disappointed in that even a huge variety pictures sounded all pretty much
the same with this program.
The BEST part of the software, though, is that you can put "effects" on
the pictures you import. Like stretch, loop, etc. -- and better yet, you
can export the effected picture back out into a PICT. As a result,
MetaSynth is an abtract way to fuck up a perfectly good picture. :)
