Blackhole Choir

Blackhole Choir (2019) Screencap

Us human observers have been looking to the skies, plotting and imagining realms above us, far beyond our planet bound experience. In the 90’s, Edward Morgan of MIT took data of the X-rays from black hole GRS 1915+105, and translated it to audio signals. This was the first time we could imagine the force exerted on space around the black hole. Artist Ben Mosher took this data and auto-tuned it to form a cosmological choir of black holes. As we continue to get to know our cosmological neighbourhood we interpret and reinterpret vast amounts of data into manageable and wonderful imaginings, this interpretations help us begin to gasp the vastness of the universe.
