Experimental Video: Digital Materiality

EDIT: Did not realise I hadn't uploaded this until now, fully remember uploading it but apparently not. This is regarding my experimental piece, and it seems I didn't finish this post but instead made another without any of this background context. whoops lol

For a while now, I've dabbled in photoelasticity - capturing plastic materials against a background of polarised light through a polarising lens, creating a psychedelic colour effect on the object. I enjoy the abstract and textural qualities to the resulting images - it's taking an everyday item and making it look alien. Since we were tasked to create a moving image piece emphasising its own digital materiality, I've been stumped on a response, until now. Here are some experimental stills I've taken & edited (mainly with curves in a solarisation fashion) which I used as references for this project:

Using my DSLR, I recorded some materials while rotating the polarising lens to get different colours to appear. I was inspired by classmate Luka's response to this materiality brief in my editing approach to further deconstruct the visuals.
