Cymatics



Experiment called Cymatics by Opiumble + ZIZIZIC.
Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration, a subset of modal phenomena. Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid. Different patterns emerge in the exitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency. See more;

  2. There are a bunch of videos with corn starch and speakers all over youtube - I wish they had brought something different or new to the experiment.

    Regardless, the experiment never ceases to create amazing shapes and movement.
