Atomic Universe visually explores the implications of the modern notion of the atom and its ability to shift perception. Structurally, atoms make up both positive and negative space, all of the matter in the universe and the space which surrounds it. Previously believed to be solid spheres made up of an unknown substance, atoms have recently been proven to be 99% empty; empty and yet full of active energy. This new discovery reasons the boundaries that mark out positive and negative space ‘deprived of …[their] substance appear on the verge of disappearing. Atomic Universe discusses shifting perception new scientific theories stimulate, encouraging perceptual awareness that considers ‘additional dimensions and look[s] beyond the surface of what [is] known or easily visualised. ’
