Interactive
An interactive installation exploring the physics and beauty of light and sound.
Through motion, resonance, and perception, Spectra invites viewers to engage with the natural forces
that shape how we see and hear the world.
This website, along with all the projects within
in, were created, designed, coded, and composed by Xander Munc, in a single
16 week semester, as a part of his 2025 BFA degree project.
To learn more about the projects
check out the about page.
For the best experience with audio included, enjoy the work on a desktop or large-screen device.
SPECTRA explores work in motion, information design, typographic design, book covers, 3D, interactivity, and more. The gallery below holds all projects and explorations. To check out the interactive lessons, begin exploring the interactive tab above.
Light
First of a four part poster series, this poster answers the questions: How do atoms create light? And what is the Balmer Series?
Light
Photon
A test animation to explore a photons movement with a trailing "wavelength".
Sound
Sonofunctial Curves
A series of Sonofunctial Curves rendered in 3D.
Light
Impossible Waves
An exploration in graphing animated waves with impossible rotations.
Light
Explorations with Glow
A test animation to explore the the appearence of a quantum realm through glow.
Light
Second of a four part poster series, this poster answers the question: Where are you most likely to find light-emitting electrons around an atom?
Third of a four part poster series, this poster illustrates the scale of an atom relative to the size of the poster it is printed on.
Sound
Sonofunctial Notation
Sonofunctial curves used as a form of music notation to an original composition
Light
Photon Star
An exploration in using Sonofunctial curves as motion paths.
Chladni Resonance Field
