Jos Jansen : Universe

de Rob van Hoesel, Robbert Dijkgraaf, Jos Jansen

Jos Jansen's work interrogates the relationship between people, science, technology and nature. In 'Universe', he visually examines fascinating and ground-breaking research issues in the 'beta domain', such as black holes, gravitational waves, new galaxies and the latest DNA technology. In this almost incomprehensible world, Jansen constructs his own parallel and artistic universe, using his own images, found footage and data visualizations. 'Universe' is a book full of traces referring to a world where science, fantasy and art meet. It's about the unobstructed pursuit of seemingly useless knowledge. Facts in an era of alternative facts. Longterm thinking, driven by curiosity, freedom and imagination in a time full of short-term distractions.
