Noise is an independent project in which we focused on experimenting Datamoshing and Glitching animation techniques. It is inspired by a scientific experiment run during Summer 2013.
The 26-days experiment I’ve been fully involved in, was a study about the effect of the anthropogenic (man-made) noise on fish behaviour. Therefore, we have generalised the topic and shown the effects of the noise on different environments. Samples of anthropogenic noise were played back to groups of fish in their natural environment. Behavioural responses were filmed using underwater video cameras to investigate whether fish were affected or not.
As per the exposed fish, which were bothered by the increased level of noise, with this animation we wanted to visually represent the nuisance we can feel when a strong sound plays too loud.
As in the natural environments, in N0!S3 the strong/conflicting colours, the loud audio and the visual effects break the evocative pictures.
The representation was rendered even more subtle when, at the onset of noise, the shape of the mountains, grass and city turned into sound waves.
