THE POLYMER VISUALISER
About the Polymer Visualiser
An old single-use plastic cup is attached to a balloon and mounted on a speaker, which plays the Shephard tone and creates visual forms.
Images are captured by a camera from above and projected live, allowing the user to manipulate the visuals by adjusting the volume and liquid levels, which affects the visuals in real-time."

THE MONOLITHS
About the Monoliths
A structure made of old metal pipes and waterproof tarps featuring images connecting to the origin of plastic, sprayed with water.
As viewers walk through the overbearing structures, a Shepard tone surrounds them, and the works are further enhanced with the movement of wind from fans and water dripping from above.

About the Logo
Designed to be serious and playful, using Times New Roman to convey a serious tone and morphing the typeface to resemble water and sound.
About the Colours
The colours are all a product of the artwork. Black and white dominate the artwork so they have become the main colours in the project.
