12 Piano notes made visible for the first time

Shannon Novak, a New Zealand-born fine artist, commissioned us to image 12 piano notes as inspiration for a series of 12 musical canvases. We decided to image the notes in video mode because when we observed the 'A1' note we discovered, surprisingly, that the energy envelope changes over time as the string's harmonics mix in the piano's wooden bridge. Instead of the envelope being fairly stable, as we had imagined, the harmonics actually cause the CymaGlyphs to be wonderfully dynamic. Our ears can easily detect the changes in the harmonics and the CymaScope now reveals them--probably a first in acoustic physics. Capturing the dynamics was only possible with HD video but taming the dynamics of the piano's first strike, followed by the short plateau and long decay phase, was tricky. We achieved the result with the help of a professional audio compressor operating in real time.

2013: Decolonisation Zones and the New Planetary Culture AKA "Too Weird For Wired"

2013: Decolonisation Zones and the New Planetary Culture Among the numerous countercultural movements that have rapidly emerged over the past couple of years, such as the Transition Movement, alternative currency networks, and the global festival scene, there looks to be one major trait that will bring them together in 2013: subversive communities are largely giving up on the idea of repairing (or protesting against) corrupted political and corporate systems, and turning instead to building new models of community, art, ritual and sustainability to tackle the looming challenges of peak oil, climate change and financial instability tidal-waving towards us. The coming year will see a massive expansion of these “decolonisation zones.” Here, participants reprogram from the “death paradigm” of our techno-industrialized society -- which daily pollutes our land, skies, and waterways – and discover an unusual neotribal alchemy where hacker activists collaborate with urban homesteaders, steampunk artists with open-source programmers, renewable energy developers with holistic health workers to create a rare space where sharing and cooperation foster human interaction and generosity rather than the divisive models of competition, greed and fear so endemic to consumerist societies. In the past, the Burning Man Festival in Nevada served as the Mecca for a growing “future-tribal” culture, where revelers engaged in communal, celebratory rites of passage alongside massive digital art projects and computer-driven beats. This year, you can dissolve the carbon footprint of traveling to the deserts of Nevada and visit the hundreds of regional consciousness festivals exploding in population.  Lightning in a Bottle (Los Angeles), Transformus (North Carolina), Bass Coast (Vancouver), and The Philadelphia Experiment might be higher priority than watching the Man go down in flames.  Just as “sustainable” and “organic” have become omnipresent words for the environmentally minded, “reskilling” and “local resilience” are leaping to the top of the list. Initiatives like 350.org, Energy Action Coalition, the International Rainharvest Alliance, and the Transition Network (now in over 400 cities worldwide), will attract those wanting to grow their own food, repair bikes, sew clothes, use renewable energy, and collect water in order to avoid reliance on untrustworthy stock-market-beholden giants like Wal-Mart, Target, Safeway, and Exxon.  While the Occupy Movement may continue to experience diminishing protest turnouts, the slow-money mobilisation -- which develops time banks (now in over 250 towns across the UK), local currencies, barters, swaps, crowdfunding, and gift circles -- will convert more and more citizens bogged down by debt and declining incomes due to a faltering global economy.  Alternative medicine facilities and holistic healing centers will continue their rapid expansion as more people seek help beyond the profit-driven insurance companies and hospitals of the medical industrial complex.  In a similar manner that LSD influenced the 60’s, the Amazonian shaman’s healing brew ayahuasca (and its active ingredient “DMT”, which is sometimes synthesized and smoked) will shape the countercultural landscape. As more and more people look toward this medicinal elixir to treat mental and physical illness (as well as seek visionary experiences), this “class a” illegal substance will continue to spread across the US, Canada, and Europe. The techno-indigenous styles and digital fantastical realms of ayahuasca and DMT are forging a unique genre of art, music, and literature -- “The New Edge” as I have called it in Huffington Post essays -- covering a complex amalgam of mystical initiation (associated with plant medicine ceremonies, yoga, and meditation), new media activism, punk attitude, and eco-fashionista aesthetic. This year, expect visionary painter Alex Grey, psychedelic writer/icon Daniel Pinchbeck, Sacred Economics figurehead Charles Eisenstein, trip-hop DJ Random Rab, and “DMT” film director Mitch Schultz to become living legends in this flourishing underground scene. Where the corporate monoculture offers the youth soul-deflating fantasies of Coke Zero, Transformers 4, and Tommy Hilfiger jeans, these new artists are weaving new dimensions of hope and re-imagined community into our reality. With 2013 promising another “winterless winter,” further tottering American and Eurozone economies, and the expansion of GMO “Frankenfoods” by swelling agribusinesses like Monsanto, an interconnected ecosystem of permaculture farms, healing centres, reskilling seminars, festivals, and alternative money systems will rise up to take a much-needed stand. Given the rapid rise of this movement, as well as global sea levels, we won’t need to wait long to measure their success.
