What is the sound of interference?
Interference as form
Interferometry is the experimental measurement of displacement caused by the construction and deconstruction of waveforms. Indices of refraction can be gathered from light, as in holography, as well as from sound.
For this project, the aim was to develop a system that would visualize the interfering trajectories of a grid of moving speakers—their resulting vector and path produced by the frequency assigned to each source. The process yielded a series of 3D renderings that map those interference patterns in space.
Printed sculptures
Selected renderings were 3D printed as physical sculptures—material “stills” of interference patterns frozen at moments along the waveform’s trajectory.
