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)
