The Doppler effect loosely links to the electromagnetic spectrum

Tatiana Plakhova creates scientific graphics which she’s coined the style “complexity graphics” I really like hoow she interprets information in her work so you can see the history of research she’s undertaken. However when I first saw her work I was intimidated by its “complexity” which is why I’d make the the main result more prominant than the research and planning.

Knowing the above you can really see the detection of sound being displayed in the music is math series.

It’s funny that the work based around chaos is made up of circular shapes, though understandable it is quite odd as a circle seems such a neat shape. Although the picture above indicates a contained chaos as the blue centre looks quite disorganised however it resembles the lorenz attractor.

Looking at the electromagnetic spectrum these in a not specifically related way show the stationary and inflationary nature of the universe.

The Old Abstracts series are definitely my favourite of her work as it shows the construction of her pictures but not in a way that’s over powering the main form. This takes a more classical form hence the name Old Abstracts, this also may be why they are more simplified, hence Abstracts.

Flowers in Chaos

You can see the amplification of chaos in these pictures as the begin ata a point and grow from there much like a flower. The metaphor flower is clever.

Red

Thes hold more negative, low vibrations of red shift That may be why these don’t spark the same feeling as the blue ones do. The low vibrations may be why these seem to appear to me a lot simpler that her other work.

Combines structural ideas of geometry ‘in a literal and abstract’ way and ideas of escapism that gives his work a fantasy element.

I really like the gold he encorporates into his work as it highlights elements one might not pay as much attention to.

A lot of this piece of work is embroidered I like that its literally materialising string theory while alluding to aspects of it to simplify it.

Using mundane materials most people can relate to.

These equations describe significantly different matters which are also all connected as they are translated into a language (the equations) that connect almost everything.

These Equations provide (loosely) explanations for all occurances; if you look at them back up this way they kind of incapsulate eachother as you go up (as you go up the one above describes the one below in further detail).

In this exhibition Paterson focuses on cosmology; stars specifically. Alongside her own work she’s exhibited some of Turner’s. Showing how science and art used to go hand in hand but also how recently we’ve drifted away from that idea.

Through out the exhibition were a series of haiku poems stringing together all of her works and the different topics under the umbrella of the subject of the universe. I really liked how this tied everything together and showed how every one of her works is linked to one another.

Along side her work she displayed observations taken from cosmologists, this kind of shows a similar sort of working she has undertaken, just a different, more complex format that I think adds an authenticity but could lead to confusion.

Earth-Moon-Earth – More clearly shown, reflecting information off the moon and recieving less information. The piano score was sent, and recieved back with less information. what I noticed was that when the piano was playing the reflected score it missed a lot of the flat notes which have a lower amplitude therefore a lower frequency probably making them less powerful.

The Cosmic Spectrum – The universe is (for the most part) beige.

Future Library – Looking over the majority of Paterson’s work it does consist of a lot of circles and arcs, there is a theory that the universe(s) hold a spherical like structure.

All the Dead Stars – Through extensive research which was displayed; letters informing the death of a star, Paterson created this map. It holds a bubble like structure.

Along side these she had pieces of turners work exhibited. These helped deconstruct the scientific elements through the familiarisation of Turner’s work and famous way of capturing feeling and motion in the elements.

I really like the simplicity of these as they aren’t intimidating like some of Paterson’s work they, unlike Paterson’s work merely allude to scientific ideas making his work digestable for anyone.

Hilma Af Klimt was said to follow these types of ideas. It’s kind of a combination of theology and cosmology; combining spirituality and science.

In a way this is true everything we see is an illusion as everything really is colourless, its waves of light that bounce of things around us that provide us with this illusive manifestation.

This will make up the background for my main final piece.
