dentsu: paint sound sculptures

http://www.dentsu.com/
The creative studio dentsu, teamed up with photographer linden gledhill to create this series of paint sculptures using sound vibrations. The series was part of a campaign for canon’s pixma ink printer brand. The photographs and videos
begin by wrapping a membrane around a small speaker. Ink drops were placed on this membrane and the speaker was turned on. Once it began to vibrate the ink begins to jump up and down. High-speed video cameras and still cameras were used to capture this including circling around the sculptures to see them from all angles. Experimenting with different sounds and frequencies created the various pieces.

The colours are just so beautiful. All I can say is- WOW, wow and WOW!
