(un)certainty (installation)

(un)certainty features a ring of computer-controlled mechanical woodblocks. The piece is inspired by recent advances in physics, including the Muon g-2 project at Fermilab, which uses sensors on an electromagnetic ring to measure the behavior of strange subatomic particles called muons, and seeks a greater degree of certainty about the fundamental forces and elemental particles that comprise our universe. (un)certainty reflects a quest for knowledge through the combination of music, art, and embodied performance, and can be experienced as both a performance and an installation.
