In the world, there are many things that we cannot see. But sometimes, the artist manages to decode it and shows that through the art. Wolfgang Von Goethe said: 'the wave is the primordial phenomenon which gave rise to the world' although he never agreed with the theory of color shown by Newton, I think they had similar thoughts.
The principle of the universe is described in different cultures using some words that reflect the understanding of that time. For example, 'Alpa camasca' is a word provided from the Incas' language and means 'animated earth' In the way this word is considered, such as the vibrations because there are everywhere and form all matter. Our ancestors knew that nature shows precise patterns that present toward equilibrium and change, and they are made visible through the language of the sound, and they translate the frequencies into organized images.
In that art project, I used kinematics science to study the movement of natural patterns and the motion of the lines. When I did it, I thought in the items from the Mexican textile combine with Paul Klee because both believed that all compositions should be inspired by nature, in following the functioning forms of each one. Then, I did three experiments, but that just one was successful. The 3D piece is shaped by two speakers connected at the metal sheet to produce the intersection of the X, Y, and Z (Cartesian plane) frequencies, to form 3D patterns. An important aspect to weigh is that the other two experiments only produced 2D images because the waves never intersected between them. It began to function when the speakers emitted frequency waves, and the vibrations caused the accumulation of sand (or the fine powder) in specific places into the metal plate.
I decided to work with the three primary colors because they are lighter and allow you to observe the phenomenon correctly. With lower vibrations were easy used powder blue, and with higher frequencies, the yellow and the red colors worked better. In conclusion, this experiment allowed me to perceive one part of the invisible world and feel that through the sensorial language, principally visual and auditory. The forms made inside the metal plate could be 2D pieces because they show the principal concept. But, I decided to do another little experiment in case it was not clear, and it was of the use of pendulum like media to appreciate the movement of the lines concerning the space and the gravitation. The second piece (pendulum) is less related to the interaction of the senses but can help us to know new forms for the lines and capture them into a 2D plane.
