EXHIBITION // Jo Nurm: Particles and Waves

“Particles and Waves" - cymatics in photography - exhibition by Jo Nurm

"Lower vibrations exist with material reality, higher ones with mystical reality, and a full vibrational spectrum with expanded reality."

-Water carrying sound waves reflected by light. Those images are physics photography of long exposure light reflection over vibrating water waves. This is not digitally created - instead patterns directly from nature.

-Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency.

-Experiments of this kind, similar to those carried out earlier by Galileo Galilei around 1630 and by Robert Hooke in 1680, were later perfected by Chladni, who introduced them systematically in 1787 in his book Entdeckungen über die Theorie des Klanges (Discoveries on the theory of sound).
