TECTONIC RESONANCE
Tectonic Resonance is a physical installation with integrated sound work which explores the resonances between processes of geological formation and new modes of additive manufacturing (3D printing). The aim of this installation is to engage the visitor in a tactile and immersive sound experience which evokes both geological form and new modes of technology.
Tectonic Resonance is an expression of geological phenomena - through 3D printed sandstone and evocative soundscapes we aim to immerse the visitor in the science and art of the underground.
Tectonic Resonance is a 3D-printed object and sound work which explores parallels between geological formation and new modes of fabrication.
