Self Organizing Still-Life

I’m intrigued by this Self Organizing Still-Life created by David Fried. Once in a while I find out about a project that is so simple, yet so ingenious, I wish I’d come up with it myself. 

These perfectly round spheres are set in motion by sound waves, through the level object they rest upon. The movement of each sphere can never be predicted, and they al move around in some sort of random choreography. There are more examples to be found on David’s website.

Are the sound waves also meant to be heard? I can't hear anything :(

I think that's the idea. I don't know how it works though...

You have an odd sense of 'simple'... Sure it is actually pretty difficult to make objects move via sound waves. But it sure is aesthetically simple and beautiful. Thanks for the post.

Brad, you are right. I was referring to the aesthetic simplicity :-)
