Metamaterials are an emerging field in physics where periodic and
geometric patterning at the nano scale create new materials with
novel properties. In this film I render geometric narratives as an
aerial view of two hypothetical metamaterials. Metasurfaces renders
the narrative value as the diameter of a disk for CP's of 23, 41 and
79 . Photonic crystal separates the narrative values into two sets
and uses the xy positions of one set to display a hole. The CP for
this narrative is 233 and symbols of the alphabet show an additional
5 x 5 grid of sub geometries and differing symmetry on the x and y
axis. The sound track is taken from previous audio experiments and
are produced by mapping a section of narrative from number to audio
frequency, Lydian scale and Minor scale root A respectively.
Neighbouring points determine harmonics and hence timbrel quality. A
smooth transition across the narrative results in continuous audio,
the tune. They have an unexpected compositional content.
