Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by the incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. https://semiconductorfilms.com/art/20hz/

In this year's digital fabrication Digital Fabrication module, we will attempt to give substance to the fantastic phenomena , by creating governed by quantum mechanics. Quantum theory describes the behaviour of particles and energy in their smallest form, where substances that make up our world appear to behave in a very unworldly way. Students will create lively physical representations of impossible formations of matter, that quantum phenomena at a macro scale, leading to scenes that completely disobey the conventions of classical physics. Can they move backwards, and forwards through time? Do they split, dublicate or merge our everyday livesDo these substances exist simultaneously in one place and another? Do they behave vastly different when observed, and when not? Do they break the boundaries of space-time? What possibilities exist for interaction between people and such exotic formationssubstances?

Students will create a sequence of explore the topic with sketches, rendering and 3D printed objects , to produce a stop-motion animation of their Impossible material-energy formations in a real-world setting. This short and a short animation. This animation will be supported by a brief explanatory text .

• Investigate biological, chemical or mathematical form generation processes

•   Develop a mood board (sketches, photographs, material examples)

Making
