Images of Paint Reacting To Sound....

Canon Pixma Sound Sculptures

Sources - Dantsu London - Sound Sculptures

Dentsu London, the same ad agency that recently experimented with iPad light-painting, was recently hired by Canon to create a commercial for the Canon Pixma line of printers. They decided to create super close-up and super slow-mo shots of paint dancing by using sound, and created a rig that spins around the paint super fast to create a sense of motion as they shoot at 5000 fps. As you’ll see from the video, this is a great idea for still photos as well.

The resulting commercial can be seen at the end of the video. It’s stunning.

Wk 1 - 3 Themes (Images) - First Assessment Concepts

Retinal Photographs

Veins are similar to arteries but, because they transport blood at a lower pressure, they are not as strong as arteries. Like arteries, veins have three layers: an outer layer of tissue, muscle in the middle, and a smooth inner layer of epithelial cells. However, the layers are thinner, containing less tissue. Veins receive blood from the capillaries after the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide has taken place.

 The images above are actually Retinal photographs of the back of my eyes which was used to look for any signs of macular degeneration. The veins are of particular interest - how they are formed, the abstraction and unpredictability as to where they are, as well as the darkness and depth. I was fascinated when my optometrist showed me the images as i had never really seen something of the sort, let alone of my own eyes.


Ocean Coral

Coral just has this abstract beauty to it. None are the same, as there are many species all of different shapes, colours, patterns, heights, depths etc. It is simply fascinating as to how they are living creatures of the sea, each with its own uniqueness and characteristics. 

Sound Waves

 
   
Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. Sound waves are unpredictable - creating different ripple effects, curves and abstract "waves". The below image displays the significance of sound waves, and how they could complement the creation of architecture.

This is a futuristic concept of the Taipei Performing Arts Center by American Architectural Studio B+U. For the development of the design they used a unique process using actual sounds as a basis. The morphology and shape of the building was designed using sound-waves that were analyzed and transformed into three dimensional vectors. The Grand Theater and the Playhouse are located to the north while the Multiform Theater is lifted off the ground and connected to the foyer on the south side. The proposal for the Taipei Performing Arts Center is intended to become an important landmark building in the region that expresses the richness and diversity of performing arts and creates a destination point for the area.

Fascinating highspeed photography by Linden Gledhill. The paint splashes are created by sound waves of a speaker.
