Using her vivid imagination to transform materials into fantastic,
intricate works of art that mesmerize the eye, Stark’s Drippy UE ROLL 2
patterns mimic the repetitive layers of plants, as well as the geometric
framework she finds in the universe. In her work, she explores the
juxtaposition of contrasting colors and repetition that give the
impression of movement and vibration.
“There’s no doubt that music brings movement to a moment,” Stark said.
“For this ‘Drippy’ design, I wanted to give the impression of sound
becoming an oozing liquid, dripping down the surface of the speaker and
leaving its mark on a moment.”
Thanks to the speakers’ fabric skin, Ultimate Ears has been able to
create more than 50 artist and custom-edition speakers – an unmatched
level of customization. In addition, Ultimate Ears’ speakers provide
insane personalization features through the app, such as sharing DJ
capabilities with your friends and tailored sound levels to fit your
preferences.
“Jen’s works of art are undeniably one-of-a-kind and in line with
Ultimate Ears – her work is at the forefront of pop-culture and a
statement of expression,” said Charlotte Johs, general manager of
Ultimate Ears. “Your favorite song can captivate your ears, as Jen’s
colorful creations captivate your eyes. Bringing the two together as
Drippy UE ROLL 2 is the perfect marriage of sound and sight.”
Stark’s designs can be seen in a variety of venues from the Smithsonian
American Art Museum's Permanent Collection, to the 2015 MTV Video Music
Awards, to Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’s “Lighter” music video and, now,
on the acoustic skin of UE ROLL 2.
