Kepler's Dream - Michael Burk

Kepler's Dream is a brilliant fusion of almost antique analog projection methods with state of the art 3D modeling and printing. There is something hugely engaging about the direct physical connection necessary to view this work, the clear evidence of cause and effect, the great beauty of the simple optics employed. The light phenomena revealed are every bit as complex as the minute modeling upon the 3D printed object surface but they are evident in real time and under the direct influence of the user. As a blueprint for a sensorially rich experience this fusion of old and new is a very persuasive and exciting one.
