Letters from the Universe

Wir alle sind konstant mit dem Universum verbunden. Es spricht uns auf subtile Weise an und überhäuft uns mit unsichtbaren Überresten unserer gemeinsamen fernen Vergangenheit, über Raum und Zeit hinweg. Doch in der unendlich großen Dimension alles Universellen neigt man dazu, das unendlich Kleine zu vernachlässigen.

Es ist diese allgegenwärtige Chronik des Universums, die unsere innigste Verbindung zum Überall und immer ist, die wir mit uns durch die kleinsten Postkarten und Pakete teilen. Auf der Strecke jedes reisenden Teilchens liegt ein Stück einer gemeinsamen Geschichte, eine Erinnerung an eine Jahrmilliarden lange Reise, die uns in diesem Moment in Raum und Zeit mit den Ursprüngen unseres Universums verbindet.

Dieser Briefkasten empfängt kosmische Myonen (eine Sorte fundamentaler Teilchen, die ständig durch die Wechselwirkungen der kosmischen Strahlen an der Obergrenze der Atmosphäre erzeugt werden) über einen Szintillatordetektor und sendet subtil Ton und Licht als  Reaktion auf jedes Teilchen, das er erkennt. Durch diesen Prozess wird die implizite Ästhetik des Unwahrnehmbaren erforscht, ebenso wie die Möglichkeiten, diese durch Körper und Geist wahrzunehmen.
