The first paintings generatively designed by the Metaphone machine were produced from environmental sounds at White Balcony, Royal Institute of Arts in Stockholm, Sweden. Participants' interaction, boats' and churches' sounds, restaurant's noises, etc. picked up on a microphone sensing. Pictorials are around 1 meter square, painted on paper boards.

Later paitings were picking on biosensing technologies and interactions, creating unique experiences with the machine.

The project is dedicated to the synthesis of colour and sound, visual music phenomena, from modernistic approach and psychological affect of colour in Wassily Kandinsky's relation between form and colour, his "inner necessity" is the principle of art and the foundation of forms and the harmony of colours with efficient contact with the human soul to revolutionary Jean Tinguely's machinery and linked to his mechanical interactive machine series - Métamatic - producing pictorial artworks.

Three aspects of the machine were approached and revisited repeatedly through the project’s development: (1) the formalism method of analysing the materials, (2) thoroughly examining the content – that is the bio-data provided by the participants, and (3) examining the context in which the machine would be placed.

Paintings vary in size and medium, some of a small size, some up to 2X2 meters. Techniques used are very different as well as paints and papers. The Digital Metaphone circles are printed on an archival paper.
