The Prix Ars Electronica Archive is a collection enabling search and viewing of all the submissions since 1987. The award-winning projects are documented with catalogue texts and audio-visual media. All other submissions can be searched by title/artist and displayed with year, category in list form. Please cite the credits (artwork name, artist and photographer) and only use the materials if your article is related to Ars Electronica.

30 Cycles of Flux is a sound installation piece that consists of utilizing an emission of a 30-cycle sound wave (right below human beings’ hearing range) to activate an array of speakers, consequently manifesting a visualization of imperceptible sonic energy in the form of kinetic energy.
The speakers hang from the ceiling facing down with a white string attached to the center of each cone that reaches down to the floor. When the speaker cones become activated by the infrasonic wave the strings also activate and move in a constant flow subsequently producing a kinetic visualization of the sound wave.
The work proposes an example of how imperceptible energy, which we encounter in daily life, goes unnoticed. Subsequently, 30 Cycles of Flux draws attention to the fact that this everyday occurrence of a broader spectrum of energy emissions can affect us in various ways and we can be unaware that it is happening.
30 Cycles of Flux is an object construct and time-based sound artwork that may be considered both sound site-specific sculpture and sound installation. The work may consist of any number of cones with a minimum of two. The work also adapts to the exhibition space based on the specifications of the environment. Depending on the number of cones, the work may adjust to take shape in various configurations such as square, rectangular, triangular, asymmetrical, or even linear.
