This is beautiful. I have an old Hitchhikers’s Guide omnibus edition with gold lettering that this reminds me of. I should give the whole series another read. Thanks for posting this.
ohhh I would love to have this! I have a very common edition bought in a bookstore but this kind of work deserves a nice edition! :) good proofreading
thank you very much :) haha ,the design of the pioneer plates and the golden record are indeed the source of my work.
Neat! I can understand some of that, and I’d like to understand the rest. Is there a guide or explainer?
thanks, not yet, I need to make an annotated version, I’ll try to do that before tonight :)
This reminds me of the inscription plate on the Voyager probe.
yes exactly, my work is rooted in the design of pionner and golden record plates
thanks :)
yes, my website link is on my profile.
The box you are talking about refers in the form to caustics which designates in optics and mathematics the envelope of light rays undergoing reflection or refraction on a surface or a curve. it is clearly visible above swimming pools in particular. In substance while touching the light it figuratively refers to a kind of ether. Aether, in physics, was a hypothesis that space was filled with an invisible, immaterial substance called “luminiferous aether”. Before the 20th century, scientists believed that light, like sound, had a kissin’ of an environment to propagate. They propagate through the air, where the expected light is thought to propagate through the ether. The only conceptual link is the central vertical part, it represents Feynman’s double slit experiment which illustrates the wave and particle nature of light and subatomic particles. Everything does not necessarily have a link, it is above all a graphic composition although it is partly composed of scientific elements.
thank you very much !
thanks ! my initial inspiration comes mainly from the pioneer’s plates and the golden record of voyager but there is a bit of arecibo inside indeed :)
here: https://juliencatanese.bigcartel.com i just have one print left of this one available but i wait paper for new repress soon. (Dm for reservation if it’s already sold out)
Thank you very much and I’m glad you like it! :) you must certainly be talking about pioneer and voyager plates! they are indeed my primary source of inspiration and a thread that runs through all my engraving work.
