MILLER-UREY BONG, 2010
. MILLER-UREY BONG, 2010THURSDAY 7TH OCT - SATURDAY 13TH NOV 2010PRIVATE VIEW - Thursday 7th OctDimension/Next*
Miller-Urey Bong, 2010
* a collaboration between Paul B. Davis and AIDS-3D
In 1952 Stanley L. Miller, working in the laboratory of Harold C. Urey at the University of Chicago, attempted to clarify the chemical reactions that gave rise to organic compounds on primitive Earth. The experiment ran as a closed loop connecting two flasks. One flask contained water that represented Earth's ocean, a second flask contained a mixture of methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2) that represented a hypothetical 'reductive' atmosphere. Miller heated the water to simulate evaporation and rainfall, and used electrodes to simulate lightning, guessing that lightning was a likely energy source for ancient chemical reactions. After running the experiment for one week Miller found that as much as 15% of the carbon in the system now existed in the form of organic compounds. While the Miller-Urey Experiment did not conclusively prove the chemical makeup of primordial Earth, it became a classic experiment on the origin of life.
'We really don't know what the Earth was like three or four billion years ago. So there are all sorts of theories and speculations. The uncertainty concerns what the atmosphere was like. This is the major area of dispute.' - Stanley L. Miller
Miller-Urey Bong allows experimentation with genesis models of the early Earth atmosphere by re-creating the Miller-Urey experiment with the additional functionality of adding any combustive material to the atmospheric simulation. The material is heated using a high-powered laser and the vaporized remnants are drawn into the experimental apparatus through the combined use of a specially designed stem system, carburetion port, and user provided suction. Employing the same suction, users can also orally sample the experiment's contents at any time for further analysis.
Dimension/Next specifically proposes that the addition of C21H30O2 to the existing Miller-Urey hypothesis of CH4 + NH3 + H2 + H20 has a high chance of producing exceptional results. However, in the interest of scientific objectivity, Miller-Urey Bong is BYOW (Bring Your Own Whatever).
Due to the inherent dangers of Class 4 laser technology, stringent controlled conditions and safety procedures govern the interaction of Miller-Urey Bong. The work will be fully interactive only at specific periods during the installation, however performance documentation will be on view at all times.
-----
Miller-Urey Bong, 2010 is the tenth exhibition in an ongoing programme curated for Seventeen's basement space by Paul Pieroni. The exhibition will run concurrently with Susan Collis' solo exhibition in the main space. AIDS-3D will present a solo exhibit at Frieze with Gentili Apri this October.

| Carrots in the washing basket, 13 March 2010 I've been thinking about inserting carrots into this plastic washing basket since i got it about two years ago.It seems made for them. Though I hadn't counted on its flexibility nor their weight. Then there's the lack of symmetry in an average Pakistani carrot. These black carrots are amazing, they seem another whole species from their bland orange cousins. The bigger picture is a putting together of the product of industry and the produce of nature. Both are interventions of a sort, neither are "natural". This goes beyond my anthology of plastics. |
