Best series of art talks ever. San Keller’s involved getting a massage during all the other presentations.
Birth of a Black Hole
A new kind of cosmic flash may reveal something never seen before: the birth of a black hole.
When a massive star exhausts its fuel, it collapses under its own gravity and produces a black hole, an object so dense that not even light can escape its gravitational grip. According to a new analysis by an astrophysicist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), just before the black hole forms, the dying star may generate a distinct burst of light that will allow astronomers to witness the birth of a new black hole for the first time.
It is always great to get a mention in a paper. From the Basler Zeitung showing an electroluminescent installation drawing of mine. If you are in Basel check out the exhibition at Dock.
The title of the article is pretty funny, “The Model and the Mouse”, which references some of my digital computer drawings this image is based from.
