In The Way Things Collide, PhillipsPflugfelder construct a dialogue between seemingly unrelated scientific esoteric themes and objects. At Cern audience and scientist identify relationships between obliterated objects in the empty chambers. The Way Things Collide exemplifies 00Island’s working process–the extraction of seemingly disparate objects and ideas–and their fusion into otherwise non-existent relationships–an alchemic output that manifests in the space between two elements formed in our imagination, where the human scientific brain instinctively struggles to find an alliance between seemingly incongruent items sculpted from one material. TWTC extends Null Island’s Art & Alchemy series. [CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2020]
