The Black Hole Pavilion
The Black Hole Pavilion is a public art proposal that was inspired by and designed to celebrate the science of astrophysics. It is my hope that projects like this will help to inspire the visitors to become more aware of the complex beauty of the universe, as well as the potentials of a mutually beneficial relationship between artists and scientists. The basic concept behind the Black Hole Pavilion was to create a large public gathering place that symbolically referred to the actual physical look of a black hole and the matter and light swirling around it.
The painted steel pavilion is composed of four black columns that support a black grid that refers to a portion of space. At the center of the grid there is a black sphere that symbolically refers to a black hole. Swirling around the black hole is a large number of white arrows that symbolically refer to the matter and light that are destined to enter the black hole forever!
