In the field of CYMATICS, the ivibe.life team (Simon Kopfberger, Rita Newman, Eric Kaltenbrunner & Heinz Hanko) is experimenting with interactive experience of aesthetic sound visualization in water. A photo-audio station on site were installed, where visitors can interactively visualize their voice. The recorded individual voice is transferred into an oscillating resonance phenomenon which amplifies characteristic sonic vibrational patterns. The shapes that are formed by bouncing water are unique resonance vibration patterns. They are distinguished by extreme regularity in relation to number, measure and symmetry. These polygons, curves and patterns all follow mathematical and geometrical universal laws and appear in nature. An operator controlled the experiment, guides the visitor through the recording, explains which knobs to turn (gently) to generate the resonance pattern and takes pictures of the emerging geometric patterns. The image is printed for the visitor at the end of a session. ARS Festival Sept. 2023

Daniel Spoerri

On August 26th, 2023, artist Rita Newman and multimedia developer Eric Kaltenbrunner installed a compact version of the iVibe Resonance Sphere inside the Orangerie at the Spoerri Exhibition Hall.

This interactive photo-audio station invited visitors to visualize their own voice in real time. By speaking into a microphone, their unique vocal frequency was transferred into a resonating water medium—creating mesmerizing vibrational patterns captured through photography.

Each voice produced a one-of-a-kind geometric sound mandala—a moment of identity made visible. As a memento, every participant received a printed A5 photograph of their personal voice resonance pattern.

This experience made the invisible world of frequency and sacred geometry directly tangible—bridging sound, science, and self-awareness.

When Values Resonate

Some client relationships grow into friendships over the years – united by shared values and a deep sense of purpose. This is the case with CULUMNATURA®, pioneers in holistic, natural hair care and sustainable cosmetics.

Their four-member leadership team visited my studio to bring their guiding principle “We connect beauty with nature – protecting all living beings and Mother Earth” to resonate in the Interactive Resonance Sphere.

The result? A unique visual sound mandala now graces the cover of their atento magazine.
