hi,
i need your help!how can you visualize "noise pollution"? (please think beyond the obvious, like sound waves etc ... )
Thanks! :)
- JamesEngage0
waves etc of sound
- Ohood0
scattered phonetically spelt words of sound in heavy type and made to look like they're really there, ala the panic room opening titles.

TV static (white noise)

how can you visualize "noise pollution" = could be translated visually as semiotic pollution.
- rasko40
depends what aestetic you are looking for, I mean, I can see some hilarious possibilities using stylish photography of old ladies gassing at bus-stops, essex girls on mobile phones, etc etc..
- rabattski0
true. and your animated gifs you post here regularly could be very well classified as visual noice pollution.
- Astrid0
haha i like that
unfortunately the issue is way more serious.
It's about whales and dolphins that are being killed by noise pollution caused by the military (sonar).

there was an advert on tv here in the uk last year (i think) that showed the sound waves of noise pollution as '3D air ripples'
i think there was also a B&O advert done in a similar way.
- Astrid0
ohood ... you remember what organization (?) did that advert?
- rabattski0
astrid: that's the kinda stuff you have to mention beforehand i guess. in that case why don't you make a link between noise pollution / harpoons, since people don't know that whales get killed by sonar but they do know that they are killed by harpoons you might as well visualize the soundwaves by using harpoons, but then lots of it, small and partially invisible. something like that.
- rasko40
yeah you could do harpoons and nets and more recognisably destructive forces but illustrate them in an 'invisible' way, a little like the Predator kind of thing..?
- rabattski0
rasko4: actually those are nice but too obvious if you know what i mean, the other ones where you usually have multiple images flipping and stuff (where some elements cross over). those are visually more polluting than those you've just linked. :)

people talking. life and movement.

i can't quite remember, but i am pretty sure it was either a BBC or government sponsored thing.
it was set in a club of some kind, and had the way the sound waves affect the surroundings visually represented, it was pretty clever at the time.
- Astrid0
rabattski ... yeah, i was thinking about all sorts of things like that. like having sound waves looking like a net, and whale being caught in it etc ...
man, visualizing something "invisible" without being obvious is tricky :/
- jg_20
mh. "noise pollution = sound waves looking like a net" sounds obvious to me.
but i recognize it: i am a twat
