Seeing Sound.
In partnership with the University of Bath, Physics Dept.
The project is a visual way of demonstrating how sound resonates within a space by using a matrix of LEDs that activate when triggered by a designated frequency, which would be the resonant frequency (or multiple of) the space chosen. Consequently any background from other frequencies winnow be picked up.
Rob Olins, currently the artist in residence at the university of Bath Physics Dept worked with Eleanor Dudley who have just completed their BSc. Natural Sciences: Physics and Chemistry, the proposal is to create an installations in the Trinity Centre Bristol and Wells Cathedral Chapter House similar to that above in 2025
Initially one layer thick and then creating a 3d matrix
Students Eleanor Dudley and Izzy Carter researched the space as part of their final project, producing an extraordinary set of images showing sound pressure patterns within the space as calculated using a powerful "cosmol" computer programme
This installation should also reveal patterns created sounds the beyond the range of human hearing
The images show how the 2d and 3d patterns change according to the frequency introduced
