Summary: | We present an overview of the art project Aganta Kairos (To Fish the
Metaphysical Time). This project celebrates the neutrino, the ghost particle,
which scientists consider a cosmic messenger and the artist regards as a link
between people who care about their relationship to the cosmos and question
their origins. The artwork is based on a performance of celebration and seeks
to build a human community that encompasses different knowledge domains and
interpretations of the universe. This intersection of knowledge is realized
during the performance of placing a plaque, held with witnesses, and during
subsequent exhibitions. Images, sounds, videos, and sculpture testify to the
diversity of approaches to questioning our origins, ranging from traditional
western science to ancient shamanism. The sites were selected for their global
coverage and, for the South Pole, Mediterranean, and Lake Baikal, their
connection to ongoing neutrino experiments. In December 2020, a plaque was
installed at the South Pole IceCube Laboratory, the seventh and final site. We
provide examples of images and links to additional images and videos. |
