Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto, Trioon II
(Vrioon, 2002)

“Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration, typically on the surface of a plate, diaphragm or membrane. Directly visualizing vibrations involves using sound to excite media often in the form of particles, pastes and liquids. The word cymatics derives from the Greek kuma meaning billow or wave, to describe the periodic effects that sound and vibration has on matter.”

Viktor Bulla’s Pioneers in Defense Drill, Leningrad (1937). Via Heidi Heidi Heidi.

“Bulla’s photograph of hundreds of children wearing gas masks was not meant to be ghoulish, a commentary on war or lost innocence, but rather exemplified a reason for pride—the country was blessed with well-trained, well-equipped and obviously courageous young fighters.”

Helen Levitt (Aug. 31, 1913 - 2009): New York, ca. 1942, printed later - gelatin silver print on paper (Smithsonian)

“Helen Levitt made her decision to become a photographer after seeing the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson in 1930; she emulated him by taking her first pictures in the working-class neighborhoods of New York with a small Leica camera. She studied photography with Walker Evans in 1938–1939. Her first solo exhibition took place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1943. In 1945 Levitt began working with 16 millimeter motion picture equipment and eventually produced The Quiet One with James Agee in 1948 and In the Street with Agee and Janice Loeb in 1952. She studied painting at the Art Student’s League in New York in 1956—1957. Again working with James Agee in 1965, she published her first book, A Way of Seeing. Levitt currently resides in New York City, where she has worked as a freelance photographer and filmmaker since 1947.” - National Museum of American Art (CD-ROM) (New York and Washington D.C.: MacMillan Digital in cooperation with the National Museum of American Art, 1996).
