About Pluralmagazine Sound Effects

Media artist Marco Barotti, known for his kinetic sound sculptures that harmonize technology and nature, leads CORAL SONIC RESILIENCE—a pioneering project using sound to help restore damaged coral reefs. Inspired by scientific research, the project plays back the sounds of healthy reefs in damaged areas, attracting marine life and encouraging reef regeneration. Underwater sound sculptures are currently being prototyped and installed within a damaged reef and coral nursery. This ongoing work will evolve into indoor exhibitions, combining art and science to highlight the critical need for reef conservation.

Reimagining Waste: From Oyster Shells to Porcelain At the heart of Linea by Studio Noff lies an innovative approach to sustainability: transforming oyster shell waste into porcelain. Every year, oyster farming leaves behind mountains of discarded shells. Rather than let this valuable material go to waste, Studio Noff repurposes it into a unique porcelain blend, reducing reliance on mined clay and celebrating local resources. This process not only creates stunning vessels with earthy tones and textures but also redefines sustainable craftsmanship by merging tradition with innovation. Presented at Dutch Design Week 2024’s (w)aardewerk exhibition. @Dutch Design Week | DDW Read the full article in Plural's website.
What if textiles could grow — not from plants, but from bacteria? In Interwoven Cultures, designer Mari Koppanen and weaver Estelle Bourdet combine bacterial cellulose — a material grown through fermentation — with traditional Nordic weaving techniques. Koppanen cultivates this skin-like material in a lab, while Bourdet integrates it into handwoven textiles, embracing its unique textures and imperfections. This collaboration weaves together ancient knowledge and microbial life, creating a conversation between tradition and transformation. Interwoven Cultures isn't about replacing old methods but reimagining them — showing that tradition and innovation can coexist beautifully. #design #estellebourdet #marikoppanen #weaving #bacterialcellulose #materialresearch research
What do you see when you stand before a tree? At first glance, an oak might look ordinary—just bark, branches, and leaves. But look closer, and you find a world. Fungi weaving through the soil, insects tracing its bark, birds nesting in its crown. In Britain alone, more than two thousand species depend on the oak. Of the Oak is an immersive installation by the London-based art collective Marshmallow Laser Feast, commissioned by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Using advanced imaging and sound, it reveals hidden flows of life: roots glowing like rivers, woodlands alive with unseen rhythms. It reminds us: a tree is never just a tree, but a living network where resilience comes from connection. Credits: Installation by Marshmallow Laser Feast.

125 million microalgae… in a dress? Designer Chris Bellamy and Iris van Herpen joined forces to create a living garment—bioluminescent algae that glow with movement and touch.

Lucid Life / Marama Ora is a design research project by Christopher Bellamy, created in collaboration with cultural educator Tekoui ‘Jérémie’ Tamari and other local artisans in Mo’orea, French Polynesia. At the centre of the project is a living material made from bioluminescent algae, which emits light in response to movement and touch. One of the key pieces — a swimsuit that glows underwater — was developed through shared conversations around night-time spearfishing, cultural memory, and the rhythms of the sea. The project explores how living organisms, Indigenous knowledge, and biotechnology can come together to propose new forms of making — based on care, reciprocity, and co-creation. Design by @bio.crafted (Christopher Bellamy) In collaboration with Tekoui ‘Jérémie’ Tamari, Tokainiua Jean-Daniel Devatine, Hinatea & Moé Colombani, and Naumi ‘Mamie’ Tapi With support from Central Saint Martins (UAL), The Francis Crick Institute, Gump Station (UC Berkeley), and more. #livingmate #bio.crafted #centralsaintmartins #designresearch

Slowing Water, Standing Time (2019) By Ying Gao Since 2013, designer Ying Gao has been a pioneer in robotic fashion—creating garments that move, react, and reflect. In this piece, clothes shift shape and colour in response to light, exploring perception, presence, and our growing relationship with technology. Fashion becomes more than fabric—it becomes a space for questioning identity and time. #yinggao #roboticgarments #roboticfashion
“That’s funny” 😅
