avadWorking on my artwork...the piece I will call Entanglement. I search the web and read up some more on the subject from all sorts of articles.Hours pass. There is a new book I would like to find and read on the subject as well.Anyhoo, here are some snippets:
From Library Journal:
"Entanglement" is one of the more remarkable aspects of quantum mechanics, a field that has produced a number of counterintuitive phenomena. Entangled particles are created in the same process and retain a connection even if they become far separated physically. If a change is later imposed on one of these particles, then there instantaneously occurs a change with its entangled partner, even if that partner is very far away in another part of the universe. Thus, the news of the change is transmitted with infinite velocity by an unknown means. Einstein aptly referred to this phenomenon as "spooky." In recent decades, researchers have shown entanglement to be a physical fact, thereby vindicating quantum mechanics, spooky though it may be.
From Scientific American:
Trillions Entwined
Clouds of Atoms Are Linked By A Weird Quantum Yoke(avaD's note: ha. that should be the descriptive subtitle to my artwork)
By Graham P. Collins
"....Entanglement, long just a controversial plaything for theorists, is the weird phenomenon whereby the quantum states of two or more objects become intrinsically entwined in a partnership that in theory would remain unbroken across a distance of light-years. Previously achieved with only a few particles at a time, this marvel has now been demonstrated with two golfball-size clouds of cesium containing trillions of atoms. Eugene S. Polzik and his co-workers at the University of Århus in Denmark entangled the cesium clouds by shooting laser pulses through them. The process will enable robust new ways to teleport quantum states and store information in quantum memories, an essential element of the emerging technology of quantum computation."

Date: 2003-04-25 08:10 am (UTC)Now about the guardians- there are supposed to be seven? Dangit, I KNEW these kids were slacking. Playing hookie, what have you. The same two always show up, talk some craziness, 2 nights ago one even suggested an insane change to a piece with layers of resin that would be impossible. SO frustrating. But at least they gave me a decent title for the one I had been just calling 'the rivers piece'. They say it should be called 'Waking Sumer'. a bit creepy, but who am I to say.

So, they are in a mug on the kitchen shelf until then.
Many Kilogs Of Blessings be yours
O bright shining one

Date: 2003-04-26 01:59 am (UTC)The mist has cleared I see people once more as people.
I love that you are so creative! How long before I see the end products?
Change of subject.
We are soon to be in a position to move out of this are and have a little capital. Last night I had a poweful image of MEETING you. We were both jumping up and down with disbelief in an aiport lounge. I hope it proves to be prophetic.
Love, as ever
Kim
(hehe you'll have to bear with me on my different signatures half of my web contacts want on thing half feel easier with another and I for reasons of work (where I'm known as Liz exclusively) feel as though BOTH are valid - though Kim as I once said is my 'Soul' name.

Date: 2003-04-26 07:15 am (UTC)I'm ALMOST done with the pieces. Will post pics VEEEEEEERY soon. (next few days)
*sigh* I have been spinning a bit the last few days- and it bothers me a bit because in order to make it stop I have to deliberately forget things, stop thinking about the absurdities and unknowns and learn to sleepwalk again. and that feels wrong.*sigh* just like our metaphor of taking the 'pills'.

i also enjoyed your entry about your own art and coming to abstract art. i am exploring more abstract forms in ideas for some new pieces i am working on. i recently saw a show in minneapolis that really moved me and thus have been re-thinking the styles and methods that i normally work with.
i'm so glad you are on live journal. you inspired me on opendiary and continue to. :)

As usual, you fscking rock.

Date: 2003-05-01 09:16 am (UTC)I'll try to post pics soon of the new pieces. There's some incredible microcosm stuff going on when I take close-up/detail shots. It's freaking me out in the best way.
I posted this Entanglement entry on two LJ communities: scientificwhims and technotheory and some good and fun discussion ensued,(can't remember if on both or just one) so do check out and add your forty cents please.
