I am always captivated by systems of visual notation and the translation of one expressive form into another. This one is particularly intriguing. It is a musical score by composer György Ligeti from 1958. It was then given static visual form in the 1970s by Rainer Wehinger and more recently put into motion. You can read more here.

I think I've previously posted this fantastic link about music notation. 

In his book, Painting Photography Film, László Moholy-Nagy has some fascinating stuff about notating film and other performances in a similar fashion. 

I came across Artikulation in this NY Times blog post.
