Applied Visual Arts

I’ve been exploring the ‘organic and the artificial’. For my last semester I’ve inspected natural phenomena and technology in particular.  Looking at the correlations between these opposing concepts that coexist with each other, I aimed to produce work that encourages the audience to contemplate the relationship between the organic and technology in our lives.

For my final project I started with creating patterns and forms ‘artificially’ with the use of a motion graphics software (Cinema 4D). Through this process of creating patterns and forms, I found I wasn’t fully satisfied as I could very quickly create complex visuals but not fully understand the physics behind them. This led me to investigate natural phenomena.

I decided to build physical tools that you can alter and affect a variety of different patterns. For example, I made an analogue laser visualiser where the different frequencies of your voice affect the type of patterns the visualiser creates. These tools allow you to contemplate the physical laws that nature abides such as laws behind sound frequencies. To host my analogue and digital creations I decided to make a tent-like space that you can immerse yourself into…. To experience.
