VISUALIZING VIBRATIONS: A multisensory interactive installation using cymatics that encourages play through touch and the voice.
Zach was commissioned in 2015 to create the Visualizing Vibrations sculpture by Guerilla Science, as part of their wider work with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkely, CA USA. Visualizing Vibrations will engage the public with math, science and art at festivals, museums and exhibitions around the world. The sculpture made its world premiere the 6th & 7th of June at the interactive arts festival, Figment NYC, on Governor’s Island in New York City. video
The Google Chromecast party for CES 2016 at the Belllagio’s Hyde Club in Las Vegas saw the Visualizing Vibrations sculpture as the featured art installation alongside the premiere McIntosh Amplifiers and Google’s Chromcast Audio devices. Fetty Wap performed a small set and it was a fantastic party put on by MATTE.
Project Instrumental and Zach collaborated for the first time for the Built on Bass shows at the Hackney Attic Dec 4th & Cardiff University Dec 8th 2015. It was the first time Zach has performed live visuals with a Chamber Orchestra and will not be the last. The shows were a complete success and transformed both spaces into pulsating spaces that visualised the music with incredible beauty and provided an alternative view as to how classical music can be presented.
Zach was invited by MATTE to install his Visualizing Vibrations sculpture as part of their annual Music & Arts project BLACK in Brooklyn, NYC on November 14th 2015. It was a great party with lots of good music & interesting art installations. A steady line of attendants got their hands dirty playing with the sand, powder and non-newtonian fluid with big eyes and lots of laughter.
His Visualizing Voices sculpture was selected for the Humber Calling as one of the six installations to be created for the Freedom Festival 2015 art trail in one of his favourite cities in the world and the UK City of Culture 2017, Hull. Over 300 people in Hull got their hands dirty and had a chance to visualise their voices and instruments as apart of the public engagement aspecet of the project and over 2500 throughout the weekend at Freedom Festival. video
Visualzing Vibrations was alongside the biggest Fire Organ in the world at Secret Garden Party and Shambala Festival in 2015 as part of the Guerilla Science program for both of these English festivals. There were a lot of great guest performances and hands on learning for little kids and big kids. video
