Indeed.
From a piece on Flavorwire...
Most people consider Robert Frank’s The Americans one of the most important books of photography ever published. (Granted, it took a while for it to take off. In the May 1960 issue of Popular Photography magazine, an editor referred to the game-changing work as “a sad poem for sick people.”) Now, more than 50 years after the Swiss-born photographer shot his iconic images, they’re getting a rather unlikely makeover thanks to Canadian artist Andrew Emond. For his Sounds of the Americans project, Emond uses specialized software to convert the classic black and white photos into audio files that are then fed through a spectrograph to recreate the original image. Confused?
