Light: Particle or Wave?


First draft Mission Statement (Tony Bennett):

Through understanding solar, galactic and universal forces
one begins to stand in awe of the various mechanisms
and special systems that planet earth utilizes
to allow life to thrive on it.

Second try (16 December 2024, Michael):

To place sun-responding art pieces
in public spaces
to invite and engage questions
about the curious contradictions
that energize
our lives and our planet

critique:

Impersonal and abstract; many big words with unclear meaning; missing call to action or appeal for involvement; unclear what’s to be done.
What’s needed: personally inviting, clear relationship to the endeavor, call for engagement; more awe.

intent:

To field engaging objects of public art that provoke deeper interest in the relationship between our valiant small planet and our local star, and provide portals to better understanding of the wondrous physical mysteries that make life on Earth possible.
