HR-Stamenov, Vaasa-Umeå < > Wormhole Connection

The opening of a Wormhole, provoked the appearance of a transport ‘shortcut’ in space-time.
This phenomenon allowed the train to travel between the two cities for only few seconds.

Vaasa-Umeå Wormhole Connection

 

On March 12, a strange phenomenon will connect two cities located on the two opposite sides of the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea: Vaasa in Finland and Umeå in Sweden.

A transport corridor, provoked by the opening of a Wormhole, also known as an Einstein–Rosen bridge, which is a hypothetical topological feature of space-time, will create a ‘shortcut’ between the two cities. The phenomenon will allow a Train to appear inside a building in Vaasa, then 3 minutes later in Umeå, then back in Vaasa after 3 min. and after 3 min. again in Umeå…

The observers of the phenomenon will receive a clear evidence for the existence of the Wormhole, and the practical equations from the Theory of General Relativity will be evaluated as possible solutions for transport.

HR-Stamenov, the current artist in residence of Platform, presents this light spectacle.

The immediate attention, which the media installation provokes, leaves the passers-by uncertain of what they have just seen, for the train literally ‘appears’ inside the buildings. The project is an illustration of the scientific theories of time travels and space distortions.
