‘Lightcurve’ is one of several projects developed during the synapse residency. It is a visualization of the heart of the Australian Synchrotron, created with light captured from the synchrotron, and using processes analogous to those employed by the scientists. However, it does not seek to illustrate or define exact properties, it is more an expression of my perceived feel the physics. The work also expresses the subjective and personal tension of being in an ultimately unknowable realm – moving along a path but knowing you will never get to the destination.
‘Lightcurve’ was exhibited at the ‘Synapse: a selection’ group exhibition, at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, 2013, as part of ISEA 2013.
