Heres just a cool videos of people manipulating water by using sound waves. The sound coming from the speakers causes the hose to move in different directions and the slow motion camera caputes this.

Foley Sound By Sound Ideas
Foley is the process of creating sound effects live in a studio to match a pre-recorded piece of video. A variety of props are used to create sound effects that can't properly be captured on set. Watch two foley artists bring an action sequence to life with perfectly synchronized sound effects!

Although this isn't any specific artist, I think this would be fun to do. Creating sound effects that will later be edited and put into the film. Sound seems to play a big role in scenes of movies.

"Sonic Fountain," in which water drips from 5 rods suspended from the ceiling, falling into a concrete crater dug out of the gallery floor. The flow of water is controlled to create specific rhythmic patterns that will morph, collapse and overlap in shifting combinations of speed and volume, which create a symphonic structure of song. The water itself appears milky white, chemically altered by its aural properties, a basic substance turned supernatural. The amplified sound of droplets conjures the arrhythmia of breathing, and along with the pool's primordial glow, the fountain creates its own sonic system of tracking time. I find the audio to be very interesting it's all about timing and rhythm.

"Make Something from Nothing, the first of a series of cultural projects
called 'Make with a Red Stripe', features a unique sound sculpture
created by sound artist Yuri Suzuki, in collaboration with DJ Al
Fingers, singer/songwriter Gappy Ranks and designer Matthew Kneebone. The
2.5 meter high, fully functioning sound sculpture is made using
thousands of recycled Red Stripe beer cans partly collected at this
year's Notting Hill carnival. The project celebrates the DIY culture of
the brand's Jamaican roots, with Reggae, Dub and Jamaican music
influences as well."

Although this video does not seem very interesting the concept behind the piece is very unique. Because not everyone pays attention to the everyday sounds that occur around them.
"About the work; the concept of 'whispering wall' is to capture micro sounds hidden in the region where normal hearing won't allow us. In daily situations things like for instance objects, animals, humans, wind, etc... interact with the surfaces of walls producing sounds of which we usually aren't aware of or paying no attention to. With the use of contact microphones these tiny 'whispers' have been captured and in some cases modified."

Standard Ploy is a sound performance piece which finds its life in the fissures that occur between the origins of a sound, the meaning it carries, and the effects upon that meaning it brought about by its transmission through an electronic medium. During the course of the piece, the sounds of a performer gradually become temporally disassociated from the physical actions undertaken to produce them. This perceptual disjuncture is partially offset by a slowly emerging clarity of some musical elements and by the overall lushness of the timbres employed. Standard Ploy serves as a commentary on the process of electronic audio information transfer and the extreme mediating influence that advanced technologies have upon musical performance.
I found the distortion and change of the sound very odd yet curious.

Are We Blogging Because it's Cool?
I've been convinced that blogging doesn't necessarily help you to sell art but it does help you make better art. In "Are We Blogging Because It's Cool" by Alyson Stanfield (http://www.artbizblog.com/2007/03/are-we-blogging-just-because-its-cool.html), the question is answered in the most precise and innovative way I could have imagined. Read on to discover the often "real-world" benefits of art blogging!
"If you like, think about it this way: If you made a flyer and posted it in a very public place, you’d get people who happened upon it to read about your exhibit or art or event. Fine and good. That’s kind of like your website. It’s relatively static and stays in one place. BUT, if you made a flyer and copied it 100 times and posted it in 100 places, you’d get that many more people to read about what you have going on. That’s your blog in the most simplistic terms, but it’s really more than that. Blogging lets you leave your virtual footprint all over the Internet. The Web LOVES sticky content. The more you’re connected–the more posts you make, the more links you leave on your blog, the more comments you leave on other blogs–the more you’re loved by the search engines."

The concept of art bettering yourself
I'm talking about art that is has healing powers for those who write them, gives hope to people who identify with a stranger's secret, and has created an anonymous community of support. Im talking about the history of Post Secret. Frank Warren started the website as a experiment on Blogspot, posting stories on postcards that began with a secret and ended as a hope. The success of Post Secret has undeniably skyrocketed from a little blog into a worldwide phenomenon. Even CSI has paid homage to Warren's creation. I like how one man made the concept of a "secret" into an art form.

I'm starting to really love art that captures the human spirit. This photographer has created something so entirely relatable. The project grew from what was a couple of photographs of strangers and their stories to a daily spread on Instagram, it's own website and a published book. It's art that i find endearing since we can all connect to it and understand it in one way or the other. I follow Humans of New York on Instagram--it's nice to follow as artist whose hubris is both empowering and refreshing.
