Petrified Waves

       


Working atmosphere

   

Illustrated Thoughts on Crystals, Waves and Interference





First draft of an installation setup:

 


Visitors put their mouth near the microphone and make use of their vocal cord.

Microphone is atatched to a loudspeaker.

Above the loudspeaker the crystal solution is arranged.

Crystal solution is recorded from above with a video camera.

Video camera is attached to a projector that projects the image onto a wall.

The image shows the pertrified waves that are produced by the vocal cord of the visitors.



Some Experiments on aesthetics

   

Magnesiumsulfate + gold dust (crystalized after approx. 2h)

Attempt to magnify a drop of crystal solution with a green laser



Setup to expose crystal solution to waves

 


petri dish contains magensiumsulfate solution

piezo disc is attached to the petri dish

piezo disc emits square waves produced by an oscilating circuit



Crystal solution and sound waves trapped in a box

 


sound isolating box with

magnesium sulfate solution

in petri dish

attached to peizo disc

piezo disk works as a loudspeaker in combination with the petri dish


Some outlines on crystals and sound:

 



Final decission on what to exhibit

Setup:


Needs:

Magnesiumsulfate solution

Kalium potassium solution

3 petri dishes

3 piezo discs

3 sound wave isolating boxes

3 small spotlights

1 table (at Schillerpalais)

1-3? mp3 player(s)

(1 oscilating circuit)
