what we do at institutions like the cern is the cutting edge of contemporary enlightenment - with all the debatable implications of this term ... so the drawing is not a scientific evidence, but rather an aesthetic evidence for our search for the absolute, for the fact that we want to know the rules that define the way our world works at its core. technically speaking it is a laser drawing on photo coated wood. the odd thing about drawing with the computer to me was the fact, that there was always an industrial process at work when putting the drawing into a real world object. hence, i developed a system that allows me to navigate a laser beam in real time, to make drawings with light on photosensitive surfaces.
