In this video, lead mediator Fiona explains the thoughts and processes behind EVEN DARKER MATTER by Andy Holden, featured in INVISIBLE, an exhibition discovering the known and unknown of our universe through physics and philosophy.
EVEN DARKER MATTER
Does dark matter exist in dimensions we cannot access?
In this short film, the concept of dark matter as a missing mass of matter is loosely and ponderously explored through the depth created by the simple effect of home-made 3D. The emptiness of space is full of fragments of familiar sound recordings all taken casually on the artist’s phone, while 3D renders of computer-generated galaxies and asteroids interact with familiar images from cartoon history that hang in the air like constellations. The film is “the outer edges of the Cartoon Landscape”, the artist's theory for the point in time we now all inhabit, in which cartoon logic prevails in a space where things endlessly reoccur.
