Sound of Wheat
Image: Visualising the Sound of Wheat by Eleanor Gates-Stuart
Researching: Images > Sound > Image > 3D
Using current media files to experiment with visualising wheat, both with sound and video files.
The above picture shows sound as a waveform visual (top section) and wheat images converted to a sound file (below section).
Next step > Convert to 3D
Still working on how to do this 
Farrer Variety
Image, ‘Farrer Variety’ by Eleanor Gates-Stuart
Image celebrates the legacy of wheat experimentalist William Farrer and the innovative contribution of the Food Futures Flagship / Plant Industry of CSIRO.
This image, ‘Farrer Variety’ shows grain grown to plant through the pages of William Farrer’s notes. The wheat is a 3D model and modern rendering of a new strain of wheat… linking a 100 years of excellence in cross-breeding and wheat quality.

Images relate to pest in wheat grain, in particular the Wheat Weevil – Sitophilus Granarius.
Above video, Using the CT scanner at CSIRO to capture detailed images of the insect.
The short video sequence uses the individual image files and recomposed into this artistic render in 3D space.

First CT scan test completed (low-res version). More testing to follow soon.
‘Wheat Scan I’ is a coloured version of the grey scale scan.
CT Scan kindly produced by Dr Fredrick Ford.
Images show StellrScope watermark – high-res images are availbale.
