Path. 15, Cosmic Strangers is a public artwork by Boedi Widjaja that builds on his multi-year research into cosmic ray muons*. Intersecting the disciplines of particle physics, photography, poetry and sound art, the installation—in the subterranean Orchard MRT Station Exit 10—meditates on the invisible traces of distance, movement and borders in the spaces of encounter with the other. Cosmic Strangers presents a live tracker that senses muons in real-time, alongside photographs of the invisible particles—described by eminent physicist Prof. Hiroyuki Tanaka of the University of Tokyo as the “first fine art muography” he has seen. Featuring poetry by Tse Hao Guang and sound by Jonathan Yip of Paper Divers, the art-science project is produced by Audrey Koh.
Venue: Orchard MRT Station (TEL) Exit 10 – Underground
