JUPITER’S RADIO WAVE AS SOUND ART IN PLANETARIUM
By Kamal Sabran
Research advisor: Associate Professor Dr Kamarudzaman Md Isa

Abstract

Throughout this research paper, the researcher investigate the effectiveness of Jupiter’s Radio Wave as sound art in providing understanding, motivation and attraction towards space science among visitors in Planetarium.

This study strongly focuses on the qualitative methods based on interview of scientist, artist, expertise and observation of Jupiter’s radio wave as required for the initial research for the sound art. This method allows a better understanding and produces a sound art prototype as instrument to be tested. Part of this study incorporates experimental research design where 52 students are assigned to group to be tested. The students divided into three sessions of listening: one, whereby involving room contains only sound from natural noise of Jupiter’s radio wave. Second in a room contains only sound art (manipulated Jupiter’s radio wave) and third session is in Planetarium with contains a combination of visual and sound art. 5-6 minute is given to the student to listen to the sound and another 3-4 minute to answer the questionnaire in each session. The data collections were then analyzed.

From the result, we can say that most of the respondents agreed that sound art helps them to understood space science better. The research has proved that Jupiter’s radio wave can be manipulated and created as sound art where the result shows that the sound did attract the attention of the respondents.
