Solar Flare Coffee Table

About the Item

The Solar Flare Coffee Table is inspired by sonification, the process of creating sound from data. Its shape is articulated through sonified audio clips of the sun’s solar flares collected from NASA’s public domain. Hand-cast in Brooklyn, NY. Custom orders available upon request. For sound to exist, vibrations of atoms and molecules must travel through a medium such as air or water. Since molecules do not exist in the vast regions of the universe, sound cannot travel through deep space. This has not stopped scientists at NASA from using audio clips as a way to recognize subtle differences in how stars travel and how the sun’s magnetic field fluctuates. This procedure, known as sonifcation, is recognized among heliophysicists, astrophysicists, and doctors. Sonification is used to visualize sound data, such as the beep from a heart rate monitor, a door bell ringing, or in this case, when stars come into contact with a black hole. We converted ‘Sun Sonification’, an audio clip from NASA’s public domain, into a visual soundscape. We then further abstracted ‘Sun Sonification’ by manipulating it into shapes and surface textures for Solar Flare. To listen to ‘Sun Sonification,’ click here. Technical Specifications: Crystal Clear™ epoxy resin, blue translucent pigment, black translucent pigment, starfire glass. top (optional). 200lbs.
