Solar dust vibration

Solar, Dust & Vibration workshop was held 18/06/25 at 37, Looe Street Gallery in Plymouth. As part of a International Visiting Researcher Residency funded by University of Plymouth, we hosted David Strang, who introduced an exploration of dust as both a raw material, but also the (usually) forgotten waste and remains of life.

Provocation

How to be human...
...in an artificial world
...in a world of artificial intelligence
...amidst technological complexity
...after the end of the world

Provocation

What knowledge, know-how etc. would you share; and how would you share it; in such a world?

Images and Videos

We were given the provocation to playfully explore the creative possibilities of dust and vibration. One way of doing this was through transmitting sound through laser diodes, picked up by solar cells. This technique was developed in the [Transmission and Interference] project, by David Strang and Vincent Van Uffelen. When dust interrupts the laser, the sound is also affected.
