New Approach of Cultural Aesthetic Using Sound and Image

Abstract

With the help of science and technology, many interesting works of art can be created, including transforming sound into images. If we combine these images with cultural elements, new approaches to preserve existing cultures can be developed. We put some viscous liquid on rubber film which covers a speaker and played various sound. We then see marvelous shapes simulating the sounds that usually cannot be seen with the help of a high speed camera. I studied how the frequency of sound and liquid materials (water, pigment, foam, jelly) influence these shapes. High liquid viscosity reduces the liquid's jump height and maintains a consistent shape, low liquid viscosity enables higher jumps and transformations into small spherical drops. At the frequency of 32hz, liquid jumps are expected to reach the greatest heights. Sine wave sounds can propel liquid further than zigzag waves. I also made some interesting discoveries. If we use this approach to reveal ancient culture, it would be an innovative approach to revive the sounds and images of disappearing ancient cultures.
