Much of science can be described as an act of translation—scientific models abstract complex realities into representations we can understand, and that align with the way our minds comprehend the world around us. This allows us to glimpse facets of a world otherwise hidden from our senses.
Erika Weitz and Thomas Noya's CYMATIC is a project that situates itself in this interesting context of translation: building upon three centuries of image-making technology, the work explores how a single phenomenon can manifest itself across multiple dimensions of human perception.
