The next event that I attended was the LASER symposium on May 21st. This event was informational and provided a unique experience, with multiple brief presentations. Each speaker was given about five minutes to present their project. Of the many projects that were presented my favorite was the presentation by Misha Rabinovich and Caitlin Foley. They presented on their topic of pink noise.
They created a Pink Noise Salon in which people can experience pink noise. The presenters explained that pink noise is natural sounds found in nature. Pink noise has an inverse relationship between frequency and volume. It is not to be confused with white noise. White noise is the sound of static. Pink noise is found to have meditative effects. A few of the items that can be found in the Pink Noise Salon are the Heart Hat and Shellphones. The Heart Hat amplifies the sound of one's own heartbeat. The Shellphones play relaxing sounds of the ocean. Rabinovich and Foley are interdisciplinary artists, who combine nature, art and the human body. Pink noise is supposed to be representative of nature's sounds, which are meant to be beneficial to people, providing relaxing and meditative results, all displayed at the Pink Noise Salon. Here is a video showing their exhibit in New York.
