In the moments after two black holes merge, a phase known as ‘ringdown,’ gravitational waves are emitted as the newly-born black hole vibrates like a struck bell.
In this artwork, featured as part of the Cosmic Titans exhibition, Conrad Shawcross reimagines gravitational waves as sound waves through spectacular sculpture.
See this and more on tour at Jodrell until 20 September: https://ow.ly/hbKx50Zicz5
💫 Cosmic Titans was originally a collaboration between ARTlab Nottingham and Lakeside Arts.
