Description:
These posters are each based on drawings of sound waves, by artist collective Instant Coffee.
Pink noise is a variant of white noise, which has been reduced in volume and density by skipping octaves. Pure white noise is a combination of all octaves with each octave doubling in frequency. This is static in both sound and definition. Inversely pink noise is speculative.
There is no confirmed definition or strict formula that identifies pink noise beyond reducing octaves which offers the possibility to select frequencies. This lack of distinction is inexhaustible as a form and leaves it to the realm of pseudo-science and for Instant Coffee is an opening where they can translate sound waves into colour and solid mass.
