From the Ted Talk by Evan Grant: Making sound visible through cymatics

Unscramble the Blue Letters


So, what excites me about ciymctas? Well, for me cymatics is an almost magical tool. It's like a looking glass into a heiddn world. Through the numerous ways that we can apply cymatics, we can actually start to unveil the substance of things not seen. Devices like the cymascope, which you can see here, have been used to scientifically observe cymatic patterns. And the list of scientific aiplpcinoats is growing every day.

For example, in oceanography, a lexicon of dolphin language is actually being created by basically visualizing the sonar beams that the dolphins emit. And hopefully in the future we'll be able to gain some deeper understanding of how they ctancmoimue. We can also use cymatics for haienlg and education. This is an iltanlotsain developed with school children, where their hands are tracked. It allows them to control and position cymatic ptertnas and the reflections that are cuased by them. We can also use cymatics as a beautiful natural art form.

Devices like the cymascope, which you can see here, have been used to scientifically observe cymatic patterns. And the list of scientific applications is growing every day.

For example, in oceanography, a lexicon of dolphin language is actually being created by basically visualizing the sonar beams that the dolphins emit. And hopefully in the future we'll be able to gain some deeper understanding of how they communicate. We can also use cymatics for healing and education. This is an installation developed with school children, where their hands are tracked. It allows them to control and position cymatic patterns and the reflections that are caused by them. We can also use cymatics as a beautiful natural art form.
