Texture / / Experimentation / / Inspiration


20Hz is an audiovisual maelstrom of an animation that takes raw data from electromagnetic storms and re-interprets it with sound and light, giving insight into the weather systems of the cosmos.
 "20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception."


This is very intriguing and inspiring.  I need to start doing more self led projects of my own interests that aren't necessarily in direct relation to graphic design.
The video is a form of infographics- making information visually exciting.



Things to consider with my own sequence:
Here the pace is obviously deciphered by the given information, however, it works, well.  I need to figure out a pace that reflects my subject matter and communicates the tone I want to put accross.
The textures are the most interesting aspect of the video to me.  The textures created by the (seemingly) irratic movement give amazing visuals that I can really relate to.


The videos below are also by 'Semiconductor'.  The one to the left is called 'Out of the light' and the one to right is names 'Black Rain'.
