Fire! is the tentative title of this next group of videos and 2D work. The idea comes mostly from quantum physics and Black holes. (In fact this first group is titled “Black Hole 1″)
Here are the videos:

The idea came to me after reading about the theoretical scenario of falling into a black hole. The person falling would perceive time as a linear, real-time flow. The observer would, theoretically, see the person stop at the event horizon…stuck forever. The person would supposedly also become “red-er” in color as the high wavelengths of light never make it to the observers eye. It is my belief that at this moment, time follows almost no rules. The falling person sees time as a real-time, linear flow, where as the observer sees a single second dragged out over a lifetime. I think the next “final frontier” is the understanding of time…which may ever happen.
Exhibition Notes:
The split screen is made to play on opposite walls of a gallery one on each. The other piece loops as such on a flat screen TV placed on the far middle wall. The sound from the middle wall piece is what happens when you take the X-Ray data from a black hole and put it through certain processes…especially the sound of a black hole. NASA recently found that black holes do emanate a sound…they usually hum at a B flat, but 57 octaves below middle C. In other words…you can’t hear it.
Here are some Behind-the-scenes images and a 5X5 video.:-) Enjoy!
