Fabrizio Tamburini: Beyond Einstein's Dream. Riding the Photons

05 Sep 2015 - 31 Jan 2016

As part of the exhibtion “Infosphere”, Fabrizio Tamburini is presenting in three installations his new model of light: light as a vortex, as a twisted electromagnetic wave. We obtain much of our knowledge of the universe through light. Electromagnetic waves become new tools to explore the universe and to interact with it. Human beings use the ethereal qualities of light as new and powerful tools. Distorted light and other conserved quantities of electromagnetic fields represent degrees of freedom that are to be used to interact with the world.
