Infinitely large; infinitely small

BACKGROUND
The piece was directed by the Infinite Space competition brief, "Exploring Infinity" and the constraint to incoporate a 37cmx37cm piece of plywood as an integral piece of the work Inspired by Georg Cantor's work on Transfinite Set Theory to move away from the view of infinity as the sigular symbol to an "Infinities of Infinites" (Cantor, 1888) and "Dimensions of Infinites". As a single point could contain "Infinite Infinities" we were free to explore the very large (universe of countably infinite particles and multiverse) and well as the very small Noting the equations of magnification derived in the 17th Century, this work explores the structure and substance of the plywood, demonstrating countably infinite material therein
As a subtext to the piece, the concept of art and science united as a mechanism for expressing complex ideas to the general public
SIGNIFICANCE
First Runner Up, in the Cube 37 2012, Infinite Spaces Competition
CONTRIBUTION
While Ryoji Ikeda's geometric explorations of the meaning of Transfinite does include a number of
similar metaphors, your work is the first attempt to directly communicate to the non-specialist public the
Mathematical non-uniqueness of infinity and the natural implications of the existence of the multiverse
that arise from a non-singular definition of infinity
