Description:

Composed of more than 200,000 points whose placement and properties follow Gaussian and Weibull distributions. A color palette was chosen that resembles the glow often seen around radioactive materials that emit charged particles, like electrons. This light, known as Cherenkov radiation, is the electromagnetic analogue of a sonic boom, and is generated when charged particles travel through a medium faster than light. (The speed of light in a vacuum is always the cosmic speed limit, but light actually slows down when traveling through matter.) This phenomenon was first observed by Pavel Cherenkov.

Print Detail

  • The following is a macro photo of a 16 x 24 inch artist proof on matte paper.
  • Please note that these pictures are taken extremely close to the artwork to give a better feel for what it is like to in the presence of this piece.
  • Most of our pieces are scale invariant, so small zoomed in regions can be hard to distinguish from the whole. We think this property gives the artwork a particular quality of bottomlessness.
