sky map project II: translations 7 #7

SKY-MAP PROJECT II: TRANSLATIONS The original series keeps the star points on the map constant and invents different systems of organizing those points. In this series, sets of star points are taken and translated along or around other sets of points. Ideas in this: * Relativity of the meaning of spatial-temporal ‘position’ * Role of observer’s point of view in this relativity * Dynamic nature of ‘position’ * Implication of potential ‘duplication’ or parallel existence of matter/energy * Visual positioning of points vs. recognizability of relative locations within group or among neighboring groups * Definition of ‘shape’ as affected by orientation
