Microground Cosmic Backwave

This expression refers to what remains of the Big Bang that created the universe. In 2001, the data relating to the radiation that still permeates the universe were converted into frequencies audible to the human ear and made available to the public by the American physicist John G. Cramer. The effect of pulsation and movement perceptible within the space of the Cube, as well as the noises that can be heard when approaching the glass of the Cube, are the visual and sound transcription, created by Benjamin Tomasi, of that “background noise” placed available from Cramer.

However, these are data and codes to be deciphered, in this context also the artist’s action of covering Alberto Garutti’s caption on the wall of the Cube represents an attempt to encrypt the access key to the work of art to leave greater sense of mystery to the public and arouse the fascination of the unknown. The invitation addressed to the South Tyrolean artist Benjamin Tomasi to conceive a project for the space of the Piccolo Museion – Cubo di Garutti, concludes a journey which has seen the presentation of a series of works dedicated to the revisiting of the traditional classifications of the history of art, for example the choice of subjects represented or the techniques used.
