Fabian oefner: dancing colors - making sound waves visible. Nov 23, 2012 fabian oefner: dancing colors making sound waves visible ‘dancing colors’ by fabian oefnerall images courtesy of the artist bridging the gap between the acoustic and visual world, fabian oefner‘s ‘dancing colors’ express sound waves through explosions of colored pigments,their movement a result of music pulsing through a speaker. the swiss artist wraps the device in a thin foil of plastic and places the powderon its top surface. when the box receives a sound, the film begins vibrating, causing the colored matter to explode and shoot into the air in a symphonic manner. it is these moments – which last only a fraction of a second – that oefner captures.
