ENERGY | WHAT GIVES?
2022 ANNUAL ART SHOW:
Saturday, June 11, 2022 | 5:00 - 8:00PM
Energy is everywhere.
It’s neither created or destroyed — only transformed. Yet, most of the time we can’t actually see energy in action.
What we “see” is just the range of wavelengths visible to the human eye. The light we can see makes up less than one percent of one percent of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. In fact, humans are capable of seeing only 0.0035% of reality.
This show contemplates the energy present in seemingly empty spaces and ask what gives (or takes) energy.
