![]() Using data on wave motion and slope, I created a three-dimensional model of a sea surface wave using computer aided design (CAD) software. Nathan Laxague is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University and one of the members of the scientific team onboard. Investigating further as to the cause of the ship’s motion, we arrive at the topic of waves. Using the app as a translation tool, I created an audio depiction of the ship’s motion: the roll of the ship is played as a piano and the pitch is played simultaneously as a harp. TwoTone is a free web app in which you can upload a spreadsheet of tabular data and use a simple interface to assign an instrument to play the numbers as notes. What other methods can we use to depict motion? Translating data into sound – known as “Data Sonification” – can help us understand data by listening. A graph illustrating thirty minutes of Pitch and Roll measurements during the cruise on the Falkor from November 30th, 2019. ![]() Using this database, which takes a measurement every second, the same motion represented over time can be represented as a graph. The pitch and roll of the ship are also being scientifically tracked through the Falkor’s extensive system of automated data collection. Each drawing captures a moment of the effect of the ocean’s waves on the Falkor. The brush is suspended in air like a pendulum, swaying back and forth (pitch) and side to side (roll), seeking center through a force of gravity. Seeking to understand the degree of motion felt on the Falkor on the open ocean, I began a drawing experiment using simple instruments (thread, wire, ink, and a brush) to capture the pitch and roll of the ship as a series of drawings. Artist’s tools to capture the roll and pitch of the Falkor in ink on paper. ![]() Your foundation is always moving, making simple tasks (like taking a shower or walking down a hallway) into dynamic actions, as compared the almost thoughtless, natural acts completed while being on solid ground. ![]() Adrien Segal One of the first things you notice being on a ship – rather than land – is the motion. Ink pitch and roll drawings from November 24, 2019. ![]()
