Yeah, good question ! Chladni plates are always 2D geometric, Mandala-like.
But then there is also Hans Jenny's work in the 1950's and 1960's. Jenny
started from Chladni's research (done around 1800) but took it much further.
Using very fine powders like mushroom spores or iron fillings in a magnetic
field, he was able to create with sound frequencies an amazing variety of 3D
forms, some uncannily like natural or living things - butterflies,
crustaceans, zebra patterns, spheres like planets, etc. I wonder which
technique Manners actually used. Any info on that from someone who has
Manners' book or video ?
