Microwaves are in fact the only electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths comparable to our human scale: between one millimetre and one meter. We associate the word with our time because of the humble kitchen appliance that goes by the name, but it’s true significance is on an entirely different scale. Microwaves have shown us the horizon of the observable universe: the first light that our universe ever produced which has travelled for 13.7 billion years.
Talks with the artists and their scientific collaborators about the mysteries and revelations of the Cosmic Microwave Background, including a guided tour of the Invisible Light exhibition focusing particularly on the artwork Sacred Relic.
