Laser sculputre metaphorically transfers these endeavors creating a sensual experience bringing the macrocosmos closer to our scale. 40 laser beams pointed to a reflective fabric symbolise the use of light in these experiments. On the other side of lasers a 2m ring is suspended made of reflective fabric, that is dynamicly transformed to create physical ripples in spacetime reflecting the laserbeams and creating light streaks on the surrounding buildings. Laserbeams themselves are configured in such way, that they create a visual physical object horizontally trailing above the spectators head. The Laser sculpture is also going to be enhanced by a projection contemplating about the massive scale of singularities that are needed to create such amount of energy, that can create ripples in the fabric of spacetime itself.
