I always knew that music was art – I just didn’t realize it was a visual art.

A self-professed “creative technologist”, Evan Grant explores the science and art of cymatics, or the visualization of sound.  I’ve never heard of the field, but it’s absolutely stunning:

In the end, he suggests that perhaps sound played a role in the formation and shape of the universe after the big bang.

“Let there be light,” indeed. :)
