Story & Message:

It might be painful to digest, but entropy is essential to living. If there’s no entropy nothing is happening. There won’t be life at all.

From my project “Multiverse”:

“The best things happen by chance. Spontaneity and improvisation, and intuition are three of the most important tools in any artist’s studio. And the fourth most important tool is trust. You have to trust what you’re doing. I had trust that this was gonna work — and I was right.” - Larry Bell.

Using and transforming Larry Bell's "Bill and Coo at MOCA’s Nest" this project is inspired and built around the ideas of the multiverse, the infinity of multitude, but most importantly the phenomena and notion of entropy, the fact that everything in the universe is heading towards chaos. This is of course a very frightening idea to the human brain, which is wired to try and create some order out of the messy world around us. There’s a constant opposition between the entropy of life and the human brain’s desire to find structured patterns to survive. We want to create order from the constant chaos in which we live, yet it’s impossible by definition and the essence of things. There wouldn't be life if there were no entropy. Still, we choose to chase the illusion of this possibility. Why? Maybe this is also “by design”, and we do it because our endless attempts are just contributing to the universal entropy of everything without us realizing it.
