Work Details
Concept and Intention of the Artwork
Observing slime molds in forests under a microscope revealed a universe.
The micro and macro are nested, giving a sense of infinite recursion.
Our world is waves.
Humans and our perceptions are all waves.
Waves can be expressed with noise.
Noise can be expressed with math formulas.
Using math functions to handle noise and infinity, I directly expressed the connection between slime molds and the universe by waves.
