--next--> physics being artist in residence at the kavli institute for theoretical physics at ucsb, i can nurture my long time interest in physics. the kitp is for me a wonderful source of contacts, talks, seminars, readings. theoretical physics obviously: cosmology, inflation, fields, flows, simulated gravitation, black holes, lensing, projection of higher dimensions space, instabilities, topology, are familiar sources of research and frequent motifs for my work. and the more playful, experimental physics: works generated with pendulums, waves, magnetism, sand, mechanical forces. the kitp has also often been an inspiration for physics centered illustrations and cartoons. after my solo shows in 2003 and 2004, i organized a very successful group show in the institute gallery, the kitp algorist show. this year, i proposed a second group show with jean-françois colonna, helaman ferguson, and nancy macko. but so far the art committee has not signed on this most excellent project.

if something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. if still boring, then eight. then sixteen. then thirty-two. eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all. (john cage) |
