Like galaxies spinning through space or the chaotic interactions of fundamental particles in the core of stars, Entangled Attraction was inspired by nature’s patterns and complexities, and their effects on the entire system.

Gazing up to watch the spiraling dance of 300 lights, each trail fills our field of vision and leaves traces of their paths suspended in the air. Glints of color, invisible to a camera, are occasionally seen following these arcs of light. “Persistence of vision”, our visual system’s ability to remember light’s image for up to a tenth of a second, captures details the camera cannot see and holds the orbiting trails of light suspended, weightless in the air.

As viewers watch and wonder at the lights, a 7-hour, non-repeating Soundscape by composer, Jonathan Crawford, encourages the viewers to relax submerged in the moment.

The title draws on two concepts in science, “entanglement” and “attractors.”
“Entanglement” in physics is a concept in which particles are linked like twins and affect each other instantly, no matter the distance. In chaos theory, an “attractor” tends to create patterns drawn towards points of attraction in space over time. Though these are specific concepts in science, they also represent our interactions with people, places, and things that engage us in life and integrate us into the spectrum of nature.
