What is reverberation .. when one sees this word in context of the understanding which humanity has had since its dawn one will see the (especially with the advent of quantum physics)
, that everything, every object is but nothing but a mass of atoms oscillating at very high speed. Furthermore with the concept of time this oscillation converts it self into a continuum and represents itself on an empirical level as waves and waves when vibrate in a continuum express themselves as reverberation.
Everything which i will be using in my installation will have a strong linking to this aspect. sound is a wave hence it reverberates. laser; a form of light reverberates.
the design which arises as a result of this confluence of laser and sound will create wave like pattern which have a resonance like feel, yes that is also reverberation.
If look closely with the knowledge which we have now, we can say that anything and everything reverberates.
To add on to this ..
There is one more axiom in relation with this whole thing (of what reverberation is, the other view), in regards with the epistemology of the knowledge of quantum physics.
In Hindu mythology everything is made up of waves...in fact its if one closely looks the difference between what quantum physics says and what this ancient tradition says, chances are he would not find anything dissimilar in them.
Coming back to a more personal level, we also reverberate between our emotions. we do not at any point of time are fixed at one emotion and in fact it is this aspect that makes us more like human. otherwise whats the use of being stuck in one state for a lifetime??
Essentially i will be making 4 design generators (laser resonance display) and make them react to the contours of the sound.
