"Even matter called inorganic, believed to be
dead, responds to irritants and gives unmistakable evidence of a living
principle within. Everything that exists, organic or inorganic, animated
or inert, is susceptible to stimulus from the outside." - Nikola
Tesla
Originating in visual research* from the previous project DATA, this installation
investigates the translation of magnetic phenomena of image visualisation
at nano and micro levels
The intuitive understanding that Tesla had of the potential of zero point
energy, the idea of taping into the ambiant medium as a source of energy
which is self-regulated and self-sustained, is initially evoked through
a cantilever tip (as used by the AFM -- Atomic Force Microscope), a point
of contact unto a micro flowing surface, a never-ending exchange of magnetic/voltage
coordinates.
The invisible becomes readable as the « needle »
meets the random deviations of matter.
*Micro/nano imagery produced in a previous project/
residency at the Nanolab, Chemistry Departement, McGill University, with
the collaboration of Dr. Vicki Meli and Dr. Bruce Lennox, with financial
assistance from the Daniel Langlois Foundation for art, science and technology.
