Mariko Mori - Tom Na H-iu II

From Deitch Projects in NYC. This is an installation by Mariko Mori. From the official description: The Ton nai H-ui II is connected via internet directly to Super Kamiokande (a large water Cerenkov Detector for Cosmic Particles), the world's largest observatory located in Kamioka, Japan. The Super-Kamiokande detects the presence of neutrinos arriving from out space. Neutrinos are elementary particles with derive from any sources, including solar neutrinos with originate from the nuclear fusion of the Sun and other stars. The most significant neutrino is in the observation of supernovae, the explosions that end the lives of highly massive stars. Tom Na H-iu II interactively corresponds to the received neutrino data which is translated into changing color patterns displayed in real time.
