Registro visual impreso, usando la cimática en los instrumentos de viento de la cultura Jama Coaque.

Abstract

This research project linked graphic design and sound design through the application of cymatics in the wind instruments of the Jama – Coaque culture. The process included the collection of documentary and historical information of official archives, as well as the direct observation and manipulation of the selected instruments by means of a non-probabilistic convenience sample, given the accessibility and recommendation of curators in charge of the four archaeological reserves’ findings. During the stage of manipulation of the instrument, and with the aid of audio and video, equipment, it was possible to capture the sound with which the waves were projected, which served as the basis for the respective iconographic analysis of the graph generated through the application of cymatics as a result of this process, the parameters of the graphical construction for its application were defined. The design methodology used for these graphic construction for its application were defined considering the contribution proposed by Bruce Archer and Rosa Llop; defining in the analytical phase theoretical foundation according to the context and the environment to which the final production was oriented, thus establishing the proposal of interdisciplinary research in which the graphic is associated with other fields of knowledge. One of the objectives of the project is the revaluation of the cultural heritage existing in our country since the final results includes a series of meanings that are not born from simple graphic or morphological observation, but open a new stage for the analysis and experimentation of this historical record. According to Archers’ systematic model vision, an editorial production was made as an artist’s book geared toward Millenials, thus keeping the Vintage trend as the basic compositional line. It is recommended to continue this methodological process in another type of instruments, as in other cultures.
