WHITE NOISE
Amsterdam 2009

The handwriting of the universe

On 2 December, the work White Noise will be opened with a Big Bang in front of the telecommunications tower on the Zuidas in Amsterdam. As dusk falls, a constantly changing image made up of stars and planets will appear on the tower. A twinkling universe, through which meteorites zoom and in which small explosions take place. Sometimes, codes made up of letters and figures appear in this universe, as signs of human communication.

White Noise was created for the Virtueel Museum Zuidas [Zuidas Virtual Museum] and KPN Zuidas Amsterdam. The transmitter mast was designed by Christof Schwencke (AGS Schwencke Rosbach Architects), technical realisation by Rena Elektronica bv and animation by Bram Verhavert. Photo: Gert Jan van Rooij
