Sikuvalliajuq Aernoudt Jacobs 2012

Sikuvalliajuq (Inuit for ice is forming) is the first prototype for a custom-made sound microscope that magnifies the freezing and melting process of water. The formation of ice (as a process) is a fascinating sonic experience. The device allows the approach of matter transformation - liquid into solid into liquid - as a sonic process. It allows us to experience how this inaudible process becomes perceivable.
