3D printing process raised few questions for me. I have learned that the resin material is not recyclable. It made me feel quite uncomfortable and I started to think how I could use the waste from the resin support structure, which I found quite beautiful, interesting and eventually gave me some inspiration .

I got an idea for the audio-visual installation using primarily the resin waste. I would like to create a ‘plant cyborg’. The plant will consist from resin waste crystals and natural materials arranged into some structure. Crystals will be glowing from the bottom with the use of LEDs. Speakers will be hidden in the sculpture.

The plant will work as a clock. Different crystals will express different time frames – hours, minutes, seconds and sound will occur at specific time frames too.

The idea is to experiment with a change the perception of the time. Cyborg artist Neil Harbisson, who was born with achromatic vision got implanted in 2003 the antenna into his skull, which allows him to hear colours as sine wave notes. Over the time he described this new sensations becoming the perception. My assumption is that having such a clock around for long enough may eventually change the way how we perceive the time – in this particular case specific hour or time of the day may become in our mind associated with a specific colour and/or sound. this could maybe result new ways of thinking and having inspirations.
