Space of States, Boundary Condition 4 || Each image shows mist rising up, dynamically serpentining through the turbulence of the air, gently expanding as the mist cools. Appearing diffuse from a distance, looking closely reveals the cloud is made up of distinct points, tracing out short lines showing the direction of motion during the 4.5 ms duration of the flash. Chaotic and unique individually, when composited, the clouds trace out a very regular cone showing the simple statistical laws that emerge from the complex interaction of particles. Each particle interaction, is perfectly time reversible symmetric, but the emergence of the statistical law is the emergence of time. A system in a low entropy state—the boundary condition—will unfold through tiny, reversible interactions, irreversibly into a higher entropy state.

Waves #4: Action dissolving into time resolution dependence || 27 feet wide by 15 inches tall, created by programmatically combining 96 images of one view of the Charles river taken over fifty two minutes and twenty five seconds on November 11th over 96. Exposure duration ranging from 1/400 of a second to 2 minutes and back, such that the time-resolution varies advancing along the width of the picture. A graph modeling the intensity of the waves as a function of the time resolution runs along the bottom of the image.
