The work I have chosen is Crossfire by Geoffrey Mann. This work has stuck in my head since one of the first lectures.
To summarize, this work is by an industrial designer who decided to use audio to mould and shape everyday objects. The waves ripple through each object and at the end creates the actual distorted object. I enjoyed this work because I thought it was bizarre to let audio determine the shape of physical 3d objects. They become unique and have endless opportunities. For example, someone could say they liked a certain song and the song could determine the shapes of their plates, cups, knifes, forks and spoons. If it was commercialized it could become a very unique yet individual market.
This work was apart of Geoffrey Mann's series called Natural Occurrence, which he explains as, "The Natural Occurrence Series renders the impossible through encapsulating the beauty that exists above and apart from the material world." I think he has a unique look and perspective about how objects can be formed differently, each piece individually is as intriguing as the next.. Together the series outputs many different objects, that are familiar yet distorted in a beautiful way. I really enjoy the videos because it just helps visualise the processes and methods he went through in order to get his final products.
