LUCIFER
"Water is the principle of all things."
-Thales of Miletus
An irrefutable pattern in every living organism on Earth is the presence of water, accompanied by the architecture of a circulatory system within its insides, which enables metabolism to proceed and continue throughout its life, allowing it to survive, persevere, and reproduce. Some of them have different kinds of liquids, structural patterns, and functionalities that were built according to the external conditions they were subjected to, such as blue blood in the horse crab, red blood in humans, and white blood in cockroaches.
Where there's water, there's life.
-Carl Sagan
The morphogenesis process allows the cells and particles within a system to mold to the environment, change their structure, and adapt as a generative procedure optimized to the conditions of its enviroment, and as an egg, and embryo, a belly with a child, we all come from the mix of liquids with different physicial and chemical properties thata allow life to grow. The mystery of how life is organized, and how cells are not only built within a code to behave in a certain way, is still a mystery, but we can't deny the influence of the external on the internal.
"Water is the driving force of all nature."
-Leornardo Da Vinci
Why do some structural patterns repeat so often in nature? Why are all eyes rounded? Why are some skeletons of different species so similar? Why do invertebrates survive on Earth for so long? Every structure, pattern, and thing that surrounds the world we know comes from water, a thing we are all connected to that makes us alive and pumps our organs to sustain our bodies while we live. As a consequence, we as humans have been wondering, and trying to understand the world through the lenses of mythical entities and science, where god and numbers defy our philosophical sense of reality and make us wonder how.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
-John 1:1
Cymatics is not new, but the terminology quoted by Hans Jenny named an invisible phenomenon that visualizes how frequencies around us mold and shape the patterns we know are present in biological living forms of life. The field itself can be split into two different perspectives: the manipulation of liquids or solids by the vibrations emitted through frequencies in spatial and temporal contexts, where particles are subjected to organize themselves into shapes and distribute matter in the most efficient way possible, like and invisible voice, or pencil tha draws the continuos transformation of the structures from the world we live in.
Ernst Chladni idealized a simple machine using violin strings that, when touched to a metal plate, could manipulate dry matter into certain specific shapes that were symmetrical and even mathematically comprehensible to what we understand before its discovery. Then, Michal Faraday used the same principles to understand how waves behave through understanding their liquid physical properties as viscosity, density, surface tension, and others, that create different instantaneous patterns between the water-interface interface with air.
""Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings."
-Ezequiel 28:17
Any technology developed by humans is not necessarily bad, but it always depends on the intention of its use by the individual, creature that uses the tool for the objectives set in mind for it. Lucifer stands as a incubator, a book of the summons different kind of living organisms, a machine that can create new forms of life by its principles using different materials and conditions that can emulate different enviroments to act as a voice form beyond that have been molded us along our evolution as living being in a planet divide by the dried and watery elements.
Machine Applications and Advantages:
. Tissue engineering
. Active materials
. Generative structures
. Material optimization
. Fewer contamination risks
Message Strategy
Lucifer, as a Bioacoustic 3D Printer, aims to question the possibilities of working with living matter in real time, to assemble different structural patterns for new tissues that could be genetically modified to be reactive or not, as a machine that molds different layer of parts to arrange new systems, organs and organisms using the enviroment and context their subjected to assemble them. Lucifer is the carrier of light and the angel who fell from the sky, a figure that represents the human ambition of creation that tries to replicate god as its image, between the voice we can never hear, the frequencies that surround us that makes the inertia moving towards an infinite entropia through the universe, as an organized mathematical equation.
