 November 2019 I took a road trip with some good friends, we drove from Perth to Kalgoorlie and up to Lake Ballard, the location of British Sculptor Antony Gormley’s ‘Inside Australia’ installation work.  What follows is a series of questions that arrose for me during this trip spanning galaxy brain to tangentially tangential.
  • When describing the human developed environment does Anthony limit himself to the urban environment?
  • How did a British sculptor come to develop such a large and rural installation work in WA?
  • what do the folks of menzies think of this work?
  • were the folks of menzies consulted?
  • should i be questioning all public artwork in this mannor//am I doing so just because of this works location in ‘outback’ Australia and its proximity to remote Aboriginal communities?
  • what does it mean to be non-euclidean?
  • what does Euclid have to do with all this?
  • how can I understand infinity?
  • how does infinity change two straight lines?
  • Is there a material explanation for these concepts?
  • How is Hyperbolic geometry related to the 4th dimension?
  • How sure are we that the 4th dimension is related to time?
  • Is space hyperbolic?
  • Is that what's going on with black holes?
  • If the Hyperbolic plain is infinite, could sets like the Julia and Mandelbrot set be considered elliptic and conversely infinite?
