This project was created by Michael Faraday and is called Faraday waves. Faraday, along with photographer Linden Glendhill, used a high-speed camera and an LED ring light to reflect on water and capture the motions of the waves in the water. He attempted to depict the change in the waves when vibrating from different frequencies and found that higher frequencies create more complex patterns. I assume the patterns are generated through some art computer program which translates the wave frequencies (Hertz) into colorful circles on a black background, in order to better show the patterns and the complexities of the waves’ movements. Faraday studied the patterns of waves and their frequencies in the early nineteenth century, and used his knowledge of the vibrations to create a final product which artistically shows a beautiful and detailed graphic of a wave, while also educating the viewers about the ways nature can create beautiful art.
