Exhibition
ARIAN ‘Perses and the Blackbody’ Premiere at the Bochum Planetarium
18 Nov 2024

It is with great pleasure to announce the world premiere of ARIAN’s ‘Perses and the Blackbody (Perses und Schwarzkörper),’ awarded finalist at the 50th Anniversary of the Arecibo Message, ‘Contact Attempt,’ organized by Art Meets Science—Foundation Herbert W. Franke.
The work responds to and is an unyielding continuation of Arian's monumental récit, ‘Integral Sprawl,’ which has studiously dislocated the artist for well over three years, forming a play that is symmetrically exilic and astral. The multiplex subjects explored in the piece comprise astroparticle physics, tracking algorithms, interplanetary scintillation, exotheology, mythographic dramaturgy, Verfremdungseffekt, and star catalogues, among others.
