MATERIAL EXPLORATION

I started this project conducting material exploration into corrosion using various materials, reagents and reactions, studying their effects over various lengths of time and substrates.

DESIGN & IDEATION

From my experiments, I explored the idea of visualising geochemistry data such as acid rain using corrosion.

EXPERIMENTATION

Proof of concept prototype for geochemistry simulation machine.

Using data from the World Data Centre for Precipitation Chemistry, the machine is designed to simulate rain from 20 cities around the world by varying acidity, salinity and volume.
