Soap opera: Soundscape casts new light on music

London – Designer Dagny Rewera’s art installation, Invisible Acoustics, makes sound visible by projecting light through a soap bubble.

Rewera set up hoops dipped in a soap solution directly above three speakers that played tones in a variety of frequencies. As the speakers vibrated, the soap bubbles pulsated and quivered.

The designer attached lights to the speakers and projected the images onto the ceiling, creating a pearlescent kaleidoscope that moved in time with the music.

‘The aim of the project was to change the perception of the everyday,’ explains Rewera. ‘The project tries to enhance the greater understanding of the world we are surrounded by and [suggests] there might be parallel worlds unnoticed in our mundane lives.’

Rewera describes herself as a ‘design + art + science blender’ and this gorgeous Soundscape is a perfect example of the meeting of art and science known as Microscopic Beauty
