Abstract:
Radiolaria plankton have intricate mineral skeletons which vibrate, producing sounds which are turned into optical and sonic images. Biologist Ernest Haeckel, author of the book Art Forms of Nature, published in 1904, influenced 20th century architecture, drawing, and painting and now serves as inspiration for the “Acusmática Visual” project.
