About the Sound Art Installation (Location: ECPA, Arts Learning Centre)
12 TONES combines iconic Cymatic sound wave sculpture (documented/exhibited as photography) and interactive (generative) sound composition into an immersive environment exploring the relationship between sound waves and their visual counterpart. The exhibition offers a portal to escape the world of the everyday. No two participants ever have the same sonic experience. Courtesy of dc3 Art Projects.
