Sculptural Model:

I tried to recreate the informational data that i collected at Waterloo station. The pin placement on the print floor represent the movement and directions of commuters waiting at the station.

CYMATICS EXPERIMENT

I tried creating my own version of a Cymatics experiment using my rush hour noise recordings. The result turned out to be very interesting because the water created these bubbles that resembled solid looking circles. I had thought that the experiment itself would be very hard to conduct and would not be successful due to the equipment I gathered. As it turned out, the process was pretty simple and produced positive outcomes.

Supplies needed?

Amplifier

Speaker

Laptop 

Sound piece

Water & Inks

Dish

While listening to my audio recordings of rush hour noise, I allowed my sense of hearing to direct the pen. I used the mood and sounds the recordings created to move my hand across the page and put together the above compositions.

What does a commuter hear?

All of the photos below represent the audio waves of what a commuter hears at the end of their day, whether it’s the wait at the station or the journey itself. The bars indicate the frequency or the level of sound at that particular point.

Making sound visible through cymatics

Evan Grant demonstrates the science and art of cymatics, a process for making soundwaves visible. Useful for analyzing complex sounds (like dolphin calls), it also makes complex and beautiful designs.

Cymatics

Cymatics is the study and visualisation of audio vibrations using mediums such as liquids and powdered solids placed on a membrane. 

Science & Sound

In the initial research stages I made sure to collect audio recordings of the sound and noise heard a commuter experiences during their wait as well as their journey. While researching how it would be possible to integrate noise into textiles, I came across some science experiments where artists used the vibrations of their sound pieces to create visuals. This study, known as cymatics, provided as a great example that could move my research one step further.

The artist that inspired me the most to pursue this line of questioning was Nigel Stanford. In the video below, he has captured the sound vibrations that create movement in solids, liquids, fire and current. It is truly inspiring!
