The article by Weinberg “From the Big Bang to the Multiverse: Translation in Space and Time” starts with meeting with McElheny, takes inspiration from spectacular lobmeyer chandeliers and states the meaning of Big Bang “Big Bang is origin of space and time, initiating and expansion that occur everywhere and has no center”. The Goal is to how to depict Big Bang? They have long discussion of 3 hours and come to solution retaining the basic structure of sketch but change the interpretation of the structure by using spatial dimension to present time, Incorporating many feature of cosmic evolution. Then detail descriptions goes on how 230 radiating rod terminates in a cluster of hand formed glass globes represent cluster of galaxies and then single lamp represent a quasar. They created certain rules to control, relationship to the length of rod and cosmic epoch that correspond to terminating point.
The article goes from An End to Modernity, The End of the Dark ages, and Island Universe in details in explaining what they mean, from history of astronomy to various theories of different physicis. The writer explain's depth of knowledge of own subject matter. Its the project of collaborative nature between scientist and artist.
Looking the images and reading the description of each title of sculpture make more compelling arguments. But going through the images of sculptures at first glance, I thought all were the same piece exhibited in different time and place. Looking closer to its title it clearly indicates that are totally different from one to other. The descriptive article helped to understand its reason or meaning what was the idea, purpose, process and every single move the artist/group’s envision of the project and tell the world its meaning.
