Performance Force Field

Artists: Evelina Domnitch + Dmitry Gelfand
During the Spacelab era, JPL researchers pioneered acoustic levitation techniques for trapping and rotating liquid samples in microgravity. In recent decades the selfsame methods have been implemented for contactless manipulation on Earth. Numerous experiments have been performed in a vast range of research areas, including fluid dynamics, analytical chemistry, atmospheric sciences, molecular biology, and tabletop astrophysics. In Force Field, acoustically levitated water droplets resonate, vaporise and reassemble into spheroids, toroids and oscillating polygons while spinning nearly devoid of shear. The performance simultaneously taps into the 3-dimensionality of sound, the elusive physicality of water, as well as the rotational dynamics of celestial and subatomic bodies.
