Brooklyn photographer Sara Naim has taken a series of photographs that reflect Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” as seen through ripples in milk. By placing milk on top of a subwoofer, she was able to capture some of the most powerful parts of the music. Take a look through all 12 of the photographs while listening to Moonlight Sonata and see if you can pinpoint the actual moment when each photo was taken.
And you know how I can’t resist anything related to milk…

are you for real? what is this supposed to mean? art ? design? i am appalled. Some people should not even dare to refere to true artists like Beethoven. People should stop to classify as art some attempt to do something out of the ordinary, some general ideas. Ideas not always reflect art. You want art? Go to opera, go to museums, go to classical concerts, travel the world! Yes you can experiment but leave true genius alone!!!!

Art or not art? Glass half full of milk or half empty? I think the photos are fascinating in their own right and even more when you know how they were created. For me it’s art and very interesting to see milk in a form that I’ve never seen before.

I don’t know. I’m a pianist and having played Moonlight Sonata endless times I just don’t see the connection even after knowing how the photos were created. For me, a subwoofer is a let down – I’d be more interested in seeing photos or videos of the milk moving from the vibration and sensation of a real piano (I’d go with a Steinway Grand). Why not go to the essence of the experience?

I love the piano idea, Eric.
