this is a single exposure. no compositing or photoshop tricks. all done with lasers.
In February 2016, NASA announced the LIGO experiment detected gravitational waves caused by the merger of two black holes. The accompanying illustration showed an accretion disk with a helix of energy emitting from the center. Since the LIGO detector is a giant laser interferometer, I decided it would be fitting to do my own illustration using lissajous and lumia.
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
