Installation with sound and light
Galaxies (including our own Milky Way Galaxy and the large Andromeda Galaxy) are grouped into clusters and groups of various richness. Estonian Academician Jaan Einasto, together with other scientists at the Tartu Observatory, discovered dark or hidden matter around giant galaxies. Later, the idea of the existence of superclusters of galaxies was proposed, and then the honeycomb structure of the universe was reached. It was proven that the clusters belonging to superclusters form a fairly regular network, which is almost rectangular and has a cell diameter of about 120 megaparsecs. The arrangement of regular cells (the diameter of one cell is about 400 million light years) can be compared to a honeycomb, where the cells are also arranged regularly.
This installation consists of two parts, one on the ground and the other flying in the air. The basis is the tetrahedral kite designed by the famous telephone creator A. Bell, which is a simplification of a honeycomb.
Humanity has invented its own pyramidal structure, which has been used by bearers of various cultural traditions around the world to communicate with those in the Other World or with nature spirits, deities.
The gods of the earth speak to the gods of the sky. The earth speaks to the air.
