In this video, mediator Mireira gives her thoughts on the exhibit THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN MEETS THE EYE by Yu-Chen Wang, featuring in INVISIBLE, an exhibition discovering the known and unknown of our universe through physics and philosophy.
THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN MEETS THE EYE
Why does dark matter really matter?
This installation shines a light on the personal stories inspiring physicists to dedicate their working lives to researching dark matter. Wang chronicles the three different methodologies scientists use to try and detect it: conducting experiments deep underground; searching for it in outer space; or attempting to make it at places like CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research). The pencil drawing depict, in hybrid form, various parts from scientific instruments used in physics; the script is based on conversations with physicists at King’s College London, UCL, University of Liverpool, LJMU and at CERN.
ABOUT
Yu-Chen Wang’s work asks fundamental questions about human identity at a key point in history, where eco-systems and techno-systems have become intertwined. Her central practice is drawing, allowing her to explore and meditate on mechanical and biological forms, and the ways in which their borders blur and mutate.

INVISIBLE originated at Science Gallery London at King's College London in 2019, titled DARK MATTER.
