Are we still listening to music, or are we only consuming it?

Plastic Dreams

Fedir Samofalov

This project explores our changing relationship with music in the age of streaming platforms and infinite accessibility. By collecting verses from songs and placing them inside transparent plastic bag pages, the project transforms an ordinary material into a physical archive.

Plastic bags, usually associated with storage and disposability, become a medium for slowing down the experience of listening. Instead of consuming music instantly, visitors are invited to browse, read and interact with fragments of lyrics in a more intentional way.

The project questions how digital consumption has changed our attention towards music and asks whether giving music a physical presence again can restore a more meaningful connection between listeners and artistic expression.

What’s a Tool?

Does the tool change the hand that uses it? Students explored several tools to build design projects, documenting their process with vertical video. Each video shows one tool’s arc: from idea finding to experiment, design, and explanation. Creative tools shape what we create.
