www 2015
The title www echoes one of my series of musical works for string quartet. The repetition of a single letter, in a movement that could last ad infinitum, visually evokes a waveform and serves as a reminder that all matter, according to the highly poetic String Theory developed by modern physics, may not be made of particles, but of invisible strings vibrating at various frequencies.
Starting with a photograph of wire ropes reflected onto the glass windows of a New York skyscraper, I digitally edited the image with Photoshop, inverting it to a negative, colouring it, adding filters and inlaying fragments from another photograph onto the windows.
