This was made by vibrating a pool of water at a certain frequency. This creates a pattern of standing waves known as Faraday Waves. Higher frequencies create more complicated patterns. (Image and video credit: L. Gledhill)
I was especially intrigued by the complexity and how “lifelike” this generated pattern is. It almost looks like a microscopic cell, sea creature, or a CAT scan of body part. It is also interesting how completely different patterns are generated, even if the frequencies are off by a few Hertz. This I feel like adds to the “organic” nature of the project as there is just infinite possibilities and repeatabilities with this.
