The Art of Looking

Andris Gauja / Estonia, Latvia / 2024 / World Premiere / 16 min.


synopsis

According to recent findings in astrophysics, the universe is structured as a four-dimensional web-like network. Yet similar structures are created by organisms many times smaller – known as slime mold. Can the parallel between the realms of biology and physics help us understand the mystery of our changing and intricate reality?

“The cosmic web is part of the universe's large-scale structure. It is composed of dark matter, gas, and galaxies.”
