Video Description

This is an artistic, imaginative demonstration of the gravitational time dilation effect. The video involves disturbing effects of dynamical time lapse to attract and puzzle the viewer and convey the message at the very end. The video has won the Golden Medal award for the best personal work at the KTR festival in Warsaw, 2014.

Nice visual effects, but the physics is inadequately described.

Andrzej Dragan

Thank you. Could you please elaborate a bit more? I would be happy to hear about it from you.

Hey Andrzeg,

Your imagery is just plain beautiful. It is wonderful to see art assertively represented in the much vaunted "Art and Science" category (in which art is typically underrepresented or missing altogether). It is shocking to me to see that your "Community" rating is currently so low, and I will now go vote as highly as possible for you to try to fix that a little.

My video, http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/2262 , is much more science-oriented, and I admire your submission as an inspiration and challenge to bring more artistic innovation into my own future work in Art/Science and Art/Technology. Thank you for your brave, imaginative, and highly polished submission.

I have to be honest, The picture is what peaked my curiosity about this video, but I do not understand what it was about. I could not understand the physics. The effects were top notch and this video scared me a bit, but I just think you could have explained the physics aspect a little more.

All Best
