Art Project

I'm currently working on an art project that fuses sound and light. If you have any ideas, please throw them my way!

Perhaps sound, with its series of compressions and relaxations (since it's a longitudinal wave, rather than a transverse one), can be harnessed to catalyze a series of molecular motions that I hope to somehow capture in the form of light, giving an optical play. What you see today on Windows Media Player uses this idea, basically. Hence that's not a truly original idea. However, if I can come up with an experimental setup that can showcase this, without the use of any computational software, that will be fantastic.

Luckily for me, I met a sound technology engineer (irony: I didn't want to use any computational software; but I can live with that) on my summer engineering program, here in Germany. He's now on board and I now have three people (including myself, and a NYC-based sculptor, whom I met on the train while returning to NewHaven from NYC, when I went for Singapore Day @ the Grand Central Park in April) on the team. The project (and hopefully, exhibition) is going to be great *if* we work well together. I can't wait to see what's going to evolve from this rather random collaboration.
