Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 22nd: Jeff Volk will be giving a live presentation on cymatics and water at The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass.
It’s all part of a larger exhibition in the Art and Nature center at the museum called Ripple Effect, The Art Of H2O and will include “water springing into lifelike flowing form, as standing waves are generated by audible sound to create visual analogues of patterns found throughout nature, from single-celled sea creatures to cyclones, sunflowers to star formations.”
Jeff Volk is the publisher of the two foremost books on cymatics in the world, “Cymatics” by Hans Jenny and “Water Sound Images” by Alexander Lauterwasser, and this presentation promises to be a fascinating and eye opening experience.
There will also be a live cymatics demonstration given by Reid Drum, sculptor and foundry director at Massachussetts College of Art, that will include 3-D wave patterns projected from his “sonic gondola.”
Both events will be free (included in the price of Admission to the Museum) and a great way to introduce children and adults alike to the concept of cymatics.
Reservations are strongly suggested (by April 19th at the latest). Inquire about reservations and read more about the event on the Museum Website, or call their reservations line at 978-745-9500 ext. 3011
