Dice Field

Simulated random dice throws generated in response to radioactive decay: Streams of ticks from the Geiger counter are turned into random numbers and flip dice in this grid. Einstein famously said God does not play with dice in his rejection of quantum mechanics' core principles of probability. So it seems natural to express the fundamental unknowability of the universe that can be found most clearly in the atoms of Uranium with turning dice.

New paintings : dice faces

Random mumbers are harvested from streams of ticks from the Geiger counter and used to determine the faces painted on each work.

The time between ticks of the Geiger counter is the wholly unknown that makes up the fabric of the universe. It is the emptiness and unknowability of the machine. The computer translates that sublime unpredictability into a new sublime of information by taking the truly random intervals and making them true random numbers. Confronting the fact that no tick interval can be predicted is like accepting the reality of a vacuum: it exposed the limits of language and imagination.
