After the Horizon

Views from After the Horizon

“I (the positivist) want to represent things as they are, or rather as they would be, supposing that I did not exist.' In other words, the universe without man.” -Baudelaire

“and we have to remember that what we observe is not nature in itself but rather nature exposed to our method of questioning.” -Heisenberg

“Views from After the Horizon”, explores the paradoxes that arise from imagining the world without the human observer. It utilizes both art historical tropes and a variety of media, including; sculpture, painting, photography, and video, to explore this impossible and absurd thesis while allowing the specific characteristics of each media to expose the limitations of both human and mechanical observation.
