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)
