Cymatics

The idea of cymatics is clearly a topic of great interest and vast explorations. Ever since the creation of the universe, it could be said that cymatics has been at play. The same could be said within the terms of the artistic exploration; musicians, painters, dancers, filmmakers, and artist of all types have in one way or another, self aware or subconsciously, dabbled within the realms of cymatics.

It is identified that cymatics is a way of calculating, understanding, and ultimately mastering the hidden data within nature: sound, smell, vibration. With this, hopes of a brighter future would seem certain for the true potential of the organic flora of nature can be unlocked leaving limitless doors to open in terms of health care, economics, and the environment.

But for the time being, cymatics is a more discovery of art with its ability to visualize sound. It can be said that this is a natural artform of sorts, processing the vibrations and complexities within every movement and action throughout the universe into a coherent pattern. Cymatics can recreate the vivid archetypes of nature from every molecule and atom to every tangible and solid/liquid form in existence.

It is also clear the relation cymatics has with Euclidean theory and thought. In terms of mathematics and certainly artwork, the two are one in the same producing images and formulas that coincide nearly seamlessly. Ultimately cymatics is within everything, creating infinite structures that mold into and represent ideas, expressions, trees, vegetables: the universe.

With the video below, it is evident the parallels of cymatics and string-theory:

In the three clips below, subtle influence and connection can be made with the notions of cymatics and to the art of cinema. More clearly with the video we were shown class that embodied Jazz notes and visual representation.
