Wavespace
Low frequency sounds as cymatic light patterns

Wavespace uses water as a lens through which one can see the visual manifestation of low frequency oscillation. When sound vibrates physical media such as sand or water, intricate patterns bloom in a visual phenomenon known as cymatics. The reflective bowl of Wavespace mirrors the prismatic colors and kaleidoscopic patterns of the water onto the circular screen suspended above.
By converting sound into light, Turczan probes the nature of perception.
Is the boundary between our sense of sight and sound as clear as one might first assume?
In this sense, Turczan joins and expands the artistic tradition of the California Light and Space movement where pioneering artists like James Turrell, Robert Irwin, and Helen Pashgian explored the possibilities and limitations of visual perception.
Viewers are invited to recline on the artist-designed custom furniture and “star gaze” into the dazzling cymatic forms of Wavespace.
