Rubens’ Tube: Real Life Sound Visualization with Fire and Propane
I love it when I can flag a post as both Science and Entertainment. Basically, a Rubens’ Tube is a pipe with regular holes, a gas inlet on one side, and a speaker hooked up to a sound source on the left side. The result is a stunning real world visualization of the waveforms. And, there’s fire involved! How cool is that?
This article on the Rubens’ Tube is from Information Aesthetics, a cool website all about intruiging ways of visualizing data.
Inspired by Lev Manovich’s definition of “information aesthetics”, this weblog explores the symbiotic relationship between creative design and the field of information visualization. More specifically, it collects projects that represent data or information in original or intriguing ways.
