The Color Out of Space, 2015
The 36 minute HD video The Color Out of Space forms part of a sculptural film installation which extends the probing of deep time into outer space. The video is composed of images of stars and space gathered at Hirsch Observatory at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and projected through five colored glass filters placed on a steel base positioned between the projector and the screen.
The accompanying soundtrack comprises the voices of scientists, artists, and writers reflecting on the universe and its enigmas. An astronomer describes the use of colored glass filters in the imaging of celestial bodies: without these, what the human eye can make out through a telescope are, basically, “white or gray blobs.” Artistic investigation and scientific inquiry reveal themselves as essentially speculative endeavors.
