In tandem with the forthcoming 2006 Line release of "Camera Lucida: 
Sonochemical Observatory," there will be series of live performances, 
the first of which will take place at the Art Center Berlin. For each 
performance, sound artists will be invited to work directly with the 
sonochemical reactions taking place within the observatory.

Created in collaboration with scientific laboratories in Japan 
(Institute of Advanced Sciences and Technologies), Germany (Goettingen 
University), Russia (Alexander Miltsen Research Lab), and Belgium 
(Institut Meurice), Camera Lucida directly converts sound waves into 
light by employing a phenomenon called sonoluminescence: ultrasound 
within a liquid causes micro-bubbles of gas to implode, at which point 
they become as hot as the surface of the Sun and emit light in the 
shape of sound waves.  Previously, the only way to view 
sonoluminescence has been in a highly specialized scientific 
laboratory. Camera Lucida, the world’s largest display of 
sonoluminescence, presents the first opportunity for people outside the 
scientific community to perceive this mysterious phenomenon.
