#light waves

Heart Space by Krista Kim

Far from the idea that technology distances us, Heart Space is a meditation on unity. The installation invites each visitor to take part and witness their own heartbeat rendered into art. From calming yellows and serene greens to intense reds, the shifting colours respond to emotional states, creating a dynamic artwork that evolves with every new participant.

“We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.”

So I was thinking about it and I think I found the answer:

For this to have any hope of succeeding, there room must be entirely empty. If there is anything in the room, it will be what is reflected. But what does this mean?

People cant see into the room. The reason for this is that as soon as a human, animal or machine, such as a security camera, is present in the room, it will be what is reflected, causing the results to be invalid.

There cant be a door. The presence of a door would have the same effect as in point 1 - the door would be reflected. This means that the room of mirrors would have to be inaccessible.

There could be no windows. Again, anything in the room would be reflected, and windows would also mean that the outside world is reflected too.

There cant be a light fixture. This too would be reflected.

Therefore, there can be no light. Without light, mirrors cannot reflect, and we cannot perceive them. Add to this the fact that nothing can ever see an empty room, for as soon as you see it, it is no longer empty, and we have our answer.

The answer is that this room could never be seen by an entity.

Until we discover invisibility or vampires, we could not enter this room without altering the experiment. Even if we were invisible and could walk through walls, the lack of light would mean that we could not see anything.

So the answer basically is that this experiment can never happen, so we'll never know.

-- light is not matter because it has no mass

-- light is a form of electromagnetic radiation

-- travels at a constant speed through space of 3 x 10^8 m/s, or 186,000 mi/s

-- a flash of light made at the equator could travel around the world in 1/7 of a second

-- sound travels more slowly so, for example, you would see a firework before hearing it

-- a photon is a particle of light

-- the amount of energy carried by a photon depends on the wavelength      -- violet light has a shorter wavelength than red light      -- violet light carries more energy than red light
