According to quantum physics a particle exists as a wave throughout the universe but when it is observed and enters our consciousness it becomes a measurable particle, with the aid of scientific instruments, this is known as ‘wave function collapse’. A wave is converted by our mind from a probability to something with structure and locality. Therefore consciousness plays a fundamental part in the structure of the universe, it implies that the universe can only exist, or come into being, if it is observed. This kinetic sculpture is less an illustration but more a meditation on the fact. #kinetic #sculpture #conceptual #quantumphysics #automata #magnetism

The Tempest Prognosticator, a kinetic sculpture il The Tempest Prognosticator, a kinetic sculpture illustrating humanity’s disconnection with nature. Built on the fact that we as a species have lost our ability to sense the earths magnetic field.
