In other words: it is a computer-based telecommunications piece in which a biological process is an integral part of the work. The installation creates the experience of the Internet as a life-supporting system. In a very dark room a pedestal with earth serves as a nursery for a single seed. Photo: Gumparnat Pasaganon The installation takes the idea of teleportation of particles (and not of matter) out of its scientific context and transposes it to the domain of social interaction enabled by the Internet. A new sense of community and collective responsibility emerges out of this context without the exchange of a single verbal message. This piece operates a dramatic reversal of the regulated unidirectional model imposed by broadcasting standards and the communications industry.

What makes infographic world maps so engaging is how easy it becomes to conceive graphically presented information.

Riccardo TORRESI, Maxime LETHELIER, Asako FUJIMOTO. "SPECULUM GW170817". 2019 En 1915, al publicar su Teoría General de la Relatividad, Einstein cambió la concepción del mundo y abrió la puerta a una infinidad de nuevas posibilidades argumentando que la gravedad es en relación con la distorsión del espacio y del tiempo. Cuando las masas en el espacio se ponen en movimiento, esto causa ondas en el espacio-tiempo, que se propagan a través del cosmos a la velocidad de la luz y deforman todos los objetos en sus camino, en función de sus distancias. Durante cuarenta años, los astrofísicos intentaron infructuosamente probar la existencia de ondas gravitacionales, que solo habían sido asumidas teóricamente. When publishing his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein changed the world conception and opened the door to an infinity of new possibilities by arguing that gravity is the product of mass bending space and time.
