20th century researchers discovered how sound could cause geometrical wave patterns to be set up in fluids.

Cymatics could be translated as: the study of how vibrations, in the broad sense, generate and influence patterns, shapes and moving processes. More about sound as a way to generate moving image and visual patterns which led me to the term Cymatics (from Greek: κῦμα “wave”) Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration, a subset of modal phenomena. Out of attempts to approach this sonic ontology, comes the realization that there are prohibitions, perhaps universal ones, on thinking about sound in this way, and from that emerges what I call the politics of vibration. However, I argue that what is still somewhat off limits in the field is a consideration of the ontological status of sound: in other words, what it means to understand our own being in the world as a sonic phenomenon. How far can artistic investigation into Cymatics – the study of wave phenomenon and vibration – contribute towards a deeper understanding of the interplay between sound and image in Visual Music? In the 1700s Ernst Chladni studied numerous geometrical wave patterns formed in sand particles on metal plates created by vibrating the plates with a violin bow. The possibilities posed by this. In 1967, Jenny published the first volume of Cymatics: The Study of Wave Phenomena. This video gives an overview on the field of cymatics, which studies the effects of sound wave phenomena on physical matter. This book was a written and photographic documentation of the effects of sound vibrations on fluids, powders, and liquid paste.
