Hans Jenny’s experiments MUSIC & BACTERIA - the arragement of patterns ABSTRACT
If SOUND can influence MATTER, could ACOUSTIC STIMULATION become a tool for interacting with MICROORGANISMS in a controlled way?
“Sound is mechanical vibration. Bacteria are physical structures. Cymatics is the science that makes sound visible — it shows that when sound meets a fluid surface, it automatically prints a pattern of energy: this energy is expressed in antinodes (regions of high pressure) and nodes (regions of low pressure). These vibrational patterns are physical principles that operate across scales, from quantum systems to animal morphogenesis to cortical activity in the human brain. Therefore, they are not only an aesthetical phemonoma.
