The Black Box



The student's thesis we were given provided many images of different interactions of light within architecture. I found the image of diffracted light waves through slits as an idea I would like to explore further in my UT environment(see image above right). The point source could be seen as a scientific idea and it spread out to achieve something life changing such as the ability to clone. However it must undergo testing and experimentation before it reaches this place. The obstacles could be seen as the large beams the light is obstructed by on the ramp(see image above left). However the light waves appear to bend and overcome these barriers and spread out to achieve something great such as Cousteau's scuba diving invention. Or as Cousteau may be suggesting in his quote, as one thinks outside the confines of existing scientific reasoning, things that appear impossible, could be the beginnings of an idea that eventually "are set free" and create something extraordinary.
