For what it’s worth
I’ve been discussing the future again with the shadows on the wall.
I solemnly swear I am kissed by the light.

”Solar Equation” by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.

This large installation entitled Solar Equation is a simulation of the Sun, 100 million times smaller than the real thing! The sphere, commissioned by the Light in Winter Festival in Australia, is the largest spherical balloon in the world.

Using mathematical equations, Lozano-Hemmer developed a pattern of animations that are projected onto the sphere, and that never repeat. Through this simulation, the artist provides the public with a glimpse of the Sun’s unpredictable and intense atmosphere. The public can interact with the installation and affect these animations via an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad application, creating various visual experiences. It’s hard to imagine seeing such a large, burning star so gigantic and up-close.

Branches intertwined with electronic equipment and placed in dying trees throughout Burgundy, France. 

Artist’s statement: 

“A woven sphere glowing at sunset…symbolizing new life placed into a dying tree.”

"In retrospect, we regret the things we didn’t do more than the things we did."

"Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it’s a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it’s a way of making contact with someone else’s imagination after a day that’s all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss."

"Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering."
