Two corotating vortices, joined together by a slender vortical bridge, drift through an enormous aquarium. Shining through the water’s surface, an expanded laser beam transforms the vortex pair into a moving lens that upwardly projects two black holes encircled by shimmering halos. Vortices may collide with one another (as in the LIGO detections), and if the “wormhole” link between them rips apart, the black holes immediately dissipate.

Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand create sensory immersion environments that merge physics, chemistry and computer science with uncanny philosophical practices. Having dismissed the use of recording and fixative media, their artworks exist as phenomena offered for observation. Their practice has emerged through collaborations with pioneering research groups, including LIGO (Caltech), RySQ (Rydberg Quantum Simulator) and the EU Quantum Flagship. They are recipients of the Witteveen+Bos Award (2019), Meru Art*Science Award (2018), and the Japan Media Arts Excellence Prize (2007).
