The installation of the object was timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary All-Russian conference Computational Experiment in Aeroacoustics and Aerodynamics, held in Svetlogorsk from September 16 to 21, 2024.
Acoustic Analogy is a token of gratitude to the city for many years of hospitality; the conferences have been held in Svetlogorsk every two years since 2006. The installation site is Vremena Goda (Seasons) Park.
The idea for the art object was inspired by a remarkable analogy, a coincidence.
The name Svetlogorsk, when translated literally into English, almost coincides with the surname Lighthill (Light hill - Svetlaya Gora/Kholm, Light Mountain/Hill), borne by the world's best-known scientist in the field of aeroacoustics, a leading figure and founder of the discipline, the legendary James Lighthill.
This scientist's foundational work is also devoted to an analogy known throughout the world as Lighthill's acoustic analogy.
Thus, the concept of the art object already contains a modern analogy: the coincidence between the name of the city hosting aeroacoustics conferences and the surname of the world's best-known aeroacoustician.
