Out, Out Phosphene Candle: Joy Feasley and Paul Swenbeck

Employing Arthur C. Clarke's third law that states, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," Feasley and Swenbeck propose how both science and magic are viable methods for exploring our world and searching for meaning.  Through the lens of a mysterious alien form of their own creation, Feasley and Swenbeck examine truth, mysticism, belief, and scientific testing in a multiroom, large-scale immersive installation.
