Abstract

My research, called 'The Art of The Invisible: PNEUMA' (working title), is based on the cosmological phenomenon of dark matter. According to current models, this mysterious mass makes up the vast majority of the universe - while the material world as we know it only accounts for 5%. Science assumes that mystical matter does not interact with light but can only be perceived through its gravitational effect. Scientists can only detect this invisible matter indirectly through instruments. I aim to use the tools of speculative art to make the phenomenon of invisible matter experienceable directly to human perception. The main objective of the research is to create an experimental simulation in the form of a spatial installation in which the unknown phenomenon can be experienced through an interdisciplinary environment. It could open new and unexpected channels for human understanding, which refers to one of the main aims in the section summary, 'More-than human spatial complexities'.
