PHYSICAL SPELLS

[The Wor(l)d in the Atom]

2025
Artistic residency at MSU (Michigan State University) in collaboration with FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams)


Physical Spells looks at physics through the lens of linguistics to discover unexpected links between them, creating poetic bridges that bring together different disciplines and open the doors to new ways of understanding them.
The research is embodied in three artworks that deal with phonetics (SEPHOR), morphology (Quantum Morphodynamics) and syntax-metaphor (The m-process) in the realm of physics, exploring the shared magic of physics and language.
