Electromagnetic Fall
PROJECT OVERVIEW
For Remsen Science Hall at Queens College, Hodgkins created a 3-story mosaic, based on my work using atomic particles moving through space. Using computer code in a procedural drawing process, the artist keyed in the parameters of the building space and simulated a particle collision. A nucleus of particles emits from the top floor, falling to the bottom. Other particles travel down corridors, wrapping around nine columns. Based on a digital image, each pixel becomes a tile. This project bridges the historical use of mosaic in public places into a modern scientific digital imaging vernacular.
