DescriptionAmy studied MA Graphic Media Design at London College of Communication. She says this piece 'addresses the interplay between the acoustic vibrations produced by the United States’ military drone program and the trauma sustained by people on the ground who are subjected to chronic drone sonics on a prolonged basis. It investigates the weaponisation of sound in relation to psychological injury triggered from sound produced by drones or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), accompanied by explorations into resonance as a method of design. An investigation into the biological shift created in the brain from this acoustic trauma is a main focus in this exploration.'
