Gnak'kak is a form of K'kree art.
Description (Specifications)
Gnak'kak consists of a series of holographic projectors, which create a three-dimensional image of native plants from the grasslands of Kirur waving in the wind, a sound projector which produces about fifteen minutes worth of (to human ears) discordant cacophony, and a large number of waxy crescents. These crescents are the main part of the art, all the rest being roughly equivalent to the frame of a painting or the pedestal of a sculpture. To appreciate Gnak'kak, a K'kree sets up the pictures and sound, and places one of the crescents in the palm of his hand, seating it against the thumb and curling the fingers gently around it. The crescents are made from a mixture of waxes which melt as slightly different temperatures. As the K'kree's hand warms the wax, each different type melts in turn, releasing a series of odors. To a K'kree, these odors are the most important component of any form of artwork.
