A onboard view of the installation 'Orrery S4716' at the APT Open Studios 2023. The installation describes the orbit of the fastest orbiting star - S4716 - around the centre of the Milky Way galaxy in this electric orrery.
Occupying a corner of the studio, it describes an arc that generates the space for an interstellar orbit to operate. Disappearing into and emerging from this membrane is a model train of 3 tanker wagons that hold listings of stars - reddest, nearest and brightest. As such it is a description of the night sky but in terms of astronomical nomenclature. The installation seeks to re-assemble these listings within the ethic of scientific model-making.
This movie is of a projection installation as part of the exhibition ‘Our Connection to Water’ at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, 2023.
The work in this exhibition is titled ‘The Photonic Ocean’ and is made from corrugated roofing sheets formed into tubes. These act as a 5 mtr wide screen onto which are projected moving blades of light.
The viewer is invited to descend into the realms of the bioluminescent and experience the way the oceans respond to the Earth’s particulate aether field. The full projection loops for 20 minutes.
This movie is an observation of an imaginary Sun which is respiring electro-magnetically. In this rendering the granulations are rectilinear and merge to form sunspots, filaments and other dynamic elements
