Begin with a visual connection.
IF Audio's published NEBULA design board places spherical sketches beside imagery of space exploration. Seen together, these references offer a way into the object's visual language: a rounded outer form, an interest in technology and a sense of looking into something unfamiliar.
A reference can open a direction. The object then gives that direction a particular proportion, material and physical presence.
Let the form make the idea visible.
NEBULA's spherical enclosure makes a clear outline. Its transparency brings the interior into the same view, allowing the outer shell and the components within it to be read together.
The result offers several scales of attention. From a distance, there is the sphere. Closer in, the eye can follow shapes, surfaces and the spaces between them. Construction becomes part of the object's appearance.
Bring it back to everyday life.
A photograph of the object in a hand introduces another relationship: the form beside a person. The sphere is no longer only a drawing or an isolated silhouette. It has a size and a physical presence in the world.
This movement from visual reference to real object is one way to read the collection. Ideas take on meaning through the things we can encounter, move around and live with.
NEBULA offers one expression of that relationship. David's character and LIQUID's structure suggest other routes from an idea to an audio object.
