200 Nanowebbers (2005)
Digital video animation. Audio by Double Adaptor © Osaka Recordings

For 200 Nanowebbers, Semiconductor created a molecular web that is generated by Double Adaptor’s live soundtrack. Using custom scripting, the melodies and rhythms spawn a nanoscale environment that shifts and contorts with the audio resonance. Layers of energetic hand-drawn animations play over simple vector shapes forming atomic-scale associations. As the landscape flickers into existence by the light of trapped electron particles, substructures resembling crystalline substances begin to take shape.
