Rippled Reflections explores the connection between humans and water, seeking to create a deeper bond and inspire a new perspective. The interaction between the user and water becomes art itself, a fleeting moment where the observer is captivated by the spectacular beauty of water’s forms. Dynamic patterns emerge from amplified vibrations, generated by human voices. The project encourages the users to perceive water not just as a mere element, but as a vibrant, living entity that responds to external stimuli.

Schematics
We wanted to create an experience that is not controlled or modulated in any senses. The user should be experiencing a direct feedback to their own voice as form of a visualizations on a water surface.
The workflow consisted of three vibration speakers attached to an amplifier, required to match the frequency needs of the speakers. These vibrations speakers work in a way that they are itself not speakers but can convert anything attached to it in form of a speaker. We as a group liked this idea of using water as a speaker in this case. Further, establishing a medium to our concept of ‘having a conversation with water’
