The Precession Series: Seeing the Unseen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The amount by which a pendulum precesses depends on how far North or South of the equator it is hung. It demonstrates the Coriolis force [causing objects to be deflected from their paths due to earth\u2019s rotation] on a long pendulum. The contours of the sculptures showing the pendulum\u2019s precession are spaced in 2-hourly intervals. The centre of each sculpture represents the equator, where there is no precession, while the circumference represents the north pole, at which a pendulum would precess by 360\u02da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual angle precessed over a 24-hour period is given by the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u03c9 = 360\u00b0 sin \u03bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

where \u03bb is the latitude at which the pendulum is hung. The arc drawn at DJCAD\u2019s latitude (56.4566\u00b0N) shows that a pendulum here precesses by 300\u00b0 a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucy’s interdisciplinary research highlights the value of art as significant for knowledge acquisition, understanding perspectives and the translation of abstract concepts into tangible knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harmonic Ratios: Pendulums in C-major<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Four clock-movements designed to drive pendulums whose frequencies are in the same ratios as the unison, major third, perfect fifth, and octave intervals used in music. The clock pendulum sculpture alongside this screen relates audible harmony with a visual kinetic sculpture in real time, enabling the viewer to experience the physics, to \u201csee\u201d musical intervals through the heterodyning of pairs of pendulums.. This sound frequency is how the ear receives it, and the brain interprets it as a tuneful pair of notes through our learnt experience.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
