DeFenestrated@NP3

FMI's Interactive Media and Environment graduates mounted their show at NP3 on July 3 to the 12th.
My thesis work, entitled, Species: approaching a light fountain, was based on the research I conducted into ultrasound. The acoustic heterodyning effect could be heard if one was able to mentally filter out the ambient sounds in the gallery. The installation uses 42 piezo transducers and a steel bowl weighing about 100kg with the stand. The holes in the steel were made possible by a sponsorship from Machinefabriek Börger.
The process was involved, more so than I anticipated. However, I discovered a comfort in working with metal and plastics, and generated many ideas for new works. In this way, the project did more than I could imagine. More information is located at defenestrated.
