Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.

"When the universe was young, before the formation of stars and planets, it was smaller, much hotter, and filled with a uniform glow from its white-hot fog of hydrogen plasma. As the universe expanded, both the plasma and the radiation filling it grew cooler. When the universe cooled enough, stable atoms could form. These atoms could no longer absorb the thermal radiation, and the universe became transparent instead of being an opaque fog. The photons that existed at that time have been propagating ever since, though growing fainter and less energetic, since the exact same photons fill a greater and greater universe. This is the source for the term relic radiation, another name for the CMBR."

Bubble Chamber.

"Picture of neutrino interaction in the Fermilab 15-foot Bubble Chamber with heavy neonhydrogen liquid mixture taken in April, 1976. Nearly one neutrino interaction per picture is found with the current run targeting 1013 protons at 400 GeV with the wide band - two horn system. Frequently the chamber is flooded with tracks from several neutrino interactions in the same exposure.
In addition to increasing the interaction rate, the heavy neon mixture allows many of the particles from neutrino interactions to be recognized by direct inspection of the track appearance: protons, charged pions and kaons produce secondary interactions; neutral pions are evidenced by their gamma rays converting to electron pairs; muons sail right through the liquid without interacting and direct electrons or positrons from the vertex are recognized by successive kinks and associated gamma ray conversions along their tracks. A major interest in the present experiment by a Columbia University-Brookhaven Laboratory collaboration is the study of "di-lepton" events in which two muons or a muon and an electron are produced in high energy neutrino interactions."

in the meantime

This is a jumbotron and it reminds me of a meteor. In preparation for Running Towards Tidal Waves and hairy situations, I propose we photograph flocked tv screens installed in urban and suburban landscapes to appear as though they have fallen from the sky and impacted the earth.

FRIEZE-CARTIER

PS I love our blog.

DVD DRAFT 1

Frieze Application vid 1 from Kate Learson on Vimeo.

Application

Statement
In my daily life I often feel very weighed down by the mundanity of survival. I would like to repeat a quote that I often say to myself secretly when I am feeling especially frustrated with my actions as a functioning adult human: ‘Art must tear at the neck of the bourgeois.’ To me, it is a reminder that I must rip out the part of myself that I commission for process. I do not want to stride through cyclical events, but veer off and collide into things with a playful ferocity.
(92 words. Should I write in the third person for the application? “In our daily lives we often feel...”)

Proposal
Footage will be streamed from five different locations in the UK to the Frieze Fair and shown on a five screen Jumbotron: the ocean, a cityscape, a residential area, an open field, and a mountain. At each location the camera will actually be shooting the landscapes reflected into a large pane of sugar glass. At a synchronized moment, a human being will crash through the mirrors. The audio from each location will be broadcast throughout the fair, and simple staged happenings will occur before the climactic shattering of the mirrors takes place.

Extraterrestrial Communication

Do you think that it would be possible to compress the impulses in one's brain and nervous system into sound and then put it on the record and then think that perhaps the extraterrestrials of the future would be able to reconstitute that data into thought?
