HELIOPHONE DRAWINGS |
|
Heliophone is an installation that turns sunlight into sound. Its basic principle is quite simple: energy from
the sun is transformed into sound without electronic amplification. In the design, however, Jacobs combines an impressive array of traditional and cutting-edge technologies. The installation follows the trajectory of the sun, catching the sunlight and focusing it, via a parabolic lens, onto one point. There, a rotating disk chops the light up into small fragments. A photo-acoustic cell further transforms the light fragments into sound, made audible by a large horn. With Heliophone, Jacobs has created a sound piece for the sun, the tonality of the installation constantly changing with the intensity of the light. Since 2015, continuing his research into light, Aernoudt Jacobs has been creating laser drawings, which allow him to draw lines with great precision. It is a selection working sketches, reflections, and free compositions based on the technical 3D renderings. |
