Here are the final image and video for the DSDN141 project "Activate", for which I was the output. My model has a speaker that outputs a specific frequency square wave that vibrates a bed of sawdust to look like a snow globe.
My main material was wood, and I wanted to investigate the property of "fluffiness" if you will - that when wood particles get really small they are really light and fluffy and when thrown in the air they have similar properties to snow. All the wood particles that I used inside the glass dome were carved from the block of wood used for the base
