Abstract

“Strune” is an interactive audio-visual installation inspired by the string theory of particle physics, presented in January 2018 in Galerija SC in Zagreb, Croatia. “Strune” consists of 15-meter-long tensioned piano wire, supported by a resonant plywood box, and is driven to resonate by an all-thread bolt attached to a subwoofer. A Max/MSP patch is used to process the vibrations propagating on the string according to a dataset from the MadGraph particle collision simulator. Correspondingly, the process brings out a series of frequencies akin to the families of particles produced by the resonances of quantum mechanic strings. Design details and audience experiences are described.
