This article particularly struck me because of the artist's ability to take a complicated physics analysis about the big bang and turn it into a beautiful sculpture that visualized the unattainable. The task to create a distilled visual version of the creation of time and space and the resulting affects, and the amount of measurements and data that needed to be calculated for accuracy is mind-blowing. The use of the lamps to portray the life-cycle of the quasar's was affective because of the dimming and brightening of the lights to indicate movement through time. The choice to create chandelier like spherical structures that hang from the ceiling allows for the viewer to see the universe from an three-dimensional outside perspective. The use of glass pieces to represent outer galaxies is also interesting because of it's natural reflective surface. Much of the sculpture is made of reflective material, probably since we view objects in space as the light that has traveled through space.
