Glass Installations by Chris Wood

Art and science have intersected from the beginning, particularly when philosophers, physicists, and astrophysicists alike began to look at light and color, and our ability to perceive it. Once we learnt of the colors that light was made from, and how the world refracted and reflected this light, the way was paved for technological intentions such as the camera, the laser, and the projector. Similarly, the ability to see beyond our own human perceptions into outer-space light through telescopic inventions eventually moved science forward in leaps and bounds.

  UK artist Chris Wood’s work in Geometric Dichrioc Glass installations cause the viewer to think about all these things, simply by presenting us with pretty lights.  She works by installing glass onto walls that refract light and cause kaleidoscopic reflections and mandala-inspired mazes to appear in the shadows. The glass seen in these works is ‘dichroic’ – a two-tone material with a special optical coating that only reflects certain wavelengths of light. Interestingly, NASA invented this material in the 1950s, further adding to Wood’s nod to physics and the space-race.

  In this way, Wood is a craftswoman of light. Her job isn’t to create the colors, but to situate her artworks so that the light can perform its own bootstrap tricks. As she says on her website, "The optical materials I use in my work range from a simple water filled wine glass to the highly technical dichroic glass, basically anything that allows me to express the magic of light."

Coolest thing ever

Windswept by Charles Sowers

Though we cannot physically hold wind or see its swirling forms around us, we can definitely feel it.

In order to help visualize wind-currents, artist Charles Sowers created a kinetic installation consisting of 612 aluminum weather vanes called “Windswept” (2011). These were then meticulously placed on the side of the Randall Museum in San Francisco. Through this installation, we are able to see the patterns in the wind; where the currents go, how they turn, and sometimes how wind can abruptly change direction. This gives us a visual representation of the natural, invisible, force which moves around us, and sometimes with enough force, pushes and pulls us.

As the artist states: “Our ordinary experience of wind is as a solitary sample point of a very large invisible phenomenon. Windswept is a kind of large sensor array that samples the wind at its point of interaction with the Randall Museum building and reveals the complexity and structure of that interaction.”

This sort of installation creates a better understanding, and appreciation, of the wind. It is not just one large gust; a single wave can be made up of smaller currents, going in their own directions from the main flow. A dialogue begins to form between the building and the wind, the weather vanes acting as translators.

The Ingenuity Of The Human Mind Is Crazy Cool So Inventive

1. If Your Eyes Follow The Movement Of The Rotating Pink Dot, You Will Only See One Color, Pink.

1. If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink.

2. Green Catastrophe: If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

3. Reality Shatter: Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, many if not all of the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you may only see a green dot rotating.

What does this tell us about the nature of reality? There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don’t disappear. If our brains are so easily fooled, what aspects of reality are we missing?
