The Visualization of Frequency - Cheezburger

This is absolutely amazing.

That is pretty great.

Yes! I saw this the other day, it is incredible.

Equally as cool is the oobleck experiment with a speaker
Edit: better example

Get off Reddit, you.



Absolutely awesome though.

That non-newtonian fluid behaves like a Calabi-Yau manifold.

.

The frequency visualization looks like a cross section through a wave form. So cool.

You sissy nerd, you.

On a semi-serious note, I had a notion, many years ago, that it would be interesting to tie music modulations with video feedback (flares and revolving/evolving patterns) created when pointing a camera at its CRT monitor. Placing a "subject" in the field of view was interesting. I have no idea as to what effect today's digital monitors would have.

I didn't have the means then to pursue my muse and don't have the means to this day. My point, if there is one, is that science and art are inextricable. Observation, examination, exploration and interpretation are critical.

Rock On!

dshans, you have no excuses not to pursue that. Make it work!

I was reading last night, while watching the futbol game, on whether cymatics in fact supported string theory. One thing I did find out is that the frequency patterns are consistent with first principle physics.

All it would take is a somewhat unlimited budget for equipment, patience, a geek or three who understand the science behind the madness and perhaps one or two with keen esthetic eyes, no matter their rationale for preferring one thing over another. The "gut" rulz!

Art, after all, is a representation of reality (the physical world) as filtered through a brain, no matter how bat-**** or otherwise crazy. Watching the videos I couldn't help but wonder what results there would be were color and/or dynamic audio used.

I admit that much of my "inspiration" was chemically driven while listening to Beethoven, The Grateful Dead, Benny Goodman, Vassar Clements, Pink Floyd, etc. It would be fun to see just how oobleck and video feedback responds to music that varies from the most rudimentary folk to the most "refined" to the most contemporary Hip-Hop and Rap.

We actually did this in my physics class this year. One of the few memorable experiments from a rather non-memorable class

Awesome, I had drinky bird in my high school physics class

We also did some patterns with a magnet and some iron filings. Of course some idiot snorted the iron filings and that was the last time anyone in our school got to see real magnetic field lines.
