Matthew Ritchie and Daniel Bosia: The Last Scattering

New York-based artist Matthew Ritchie and Daniel Bosia (former leader of Arup’s Advanced Geometry Unit)  discuss their work: The Last Scattering, shown at Arup Phase 2, 8 Fitzroy St, London, UK in 2009. It is part of an ongoing collaboration, which explores the relationship between space and matter. This installation referred to the birth of the universe and the cosmic background radiation (visible as static on your TV screen), which comes from a moment called ‘the last scattering’ – the collection of points in space and time when light separated from matter, less than 400,000 years after the Big Bang.
The gold element of the installation is now on show at the Cass Foundation, Goodwood: http://www.sculpture.org.uk/
