About this website:
This website is based on an art exhibition of the periodic table of the chemical elements by Marita Dyson and Stuart Flanagan, displayed at Melbourne’s City Library from 1 December 2008 – 8 January 2009. Each element has been artistically interpreted visually and sonically, and uploaded to this website.
Using the history, industrial application and material properties of chemical elements as a point of departure, these images and sounds explore issues related to mining, biotechnology, medicine, manufacturing, energy production, agriculture and nutrition.
This project was made possible with the support of a 2008 City of Melbourne Arts Project Grant.
Instructions:
Click on an element thumbnail to find out more about each image.
Click on the colour coded periodic group to the left of the screen, to hear sonic compositions for periodic groups.

Wikipedia was a significant resource for much of our research into chemical elements.
Thank you to our friends and family who have been enthusiastic about this project.
