Sounds of the Spectrum is a project for the 2017 Story of Space festival—"an interdisciplinary experience that explores space under the thematics of physics, philosophy, politics, and perception, and the intersections thereof." The Story of Space is, according to our philosophy, the Story of Energy. All the light that we observe is electromagnetic energy propagating throughout the universe. The building blocks of the universe, atoms, each have their own unique light signature, called an emission spectrum.

For thousands of years, we have used our eyes to study the cosmos, but what if we could use our ears? What would we learn if we gave everyone a change to experience our universe? Our process takes the frequencies of light unique to each element and converts it into an aural frequency. A series of vibrating metal plates allow us to reveal these frequencies as visual patterns. By layering the audio and the patterns, we can create new representations of water, humans, the Earth, and even the universe itself.

The chemical composition of humanity
Change the way you perceive the universe.
Our goal is to explore the universe in ways that engage all of our senses. With new tools to hear and feel the world around us, what might we discover?
HEAR THE COMPOSITION OF A STARUsing software, we are able to calculate the densities of the elements in a star and represent the elements in an interactive sound exhibit.

FEEL THE COSMOSWith a series of vibrating plates, one can feel the frequencies of the elements that comprise our universe.

SEE THE PATTERNS IN NATUREEach element has its own unique pattern of frequencies. With a series of LED panels, we can bring these patterns to life.
