"New Dieties Are Here"




Ushered in by human action, hyperobjects, as described by Timothy Morton, have become new gods, intersecting and affecting human reality. The Very Large Array Radio Astronomy Observatory in New Mexico becomes a non-local embassy between the past, the present, people, and hyperobjects. 28 desert dwellers diplomats perform spatial ventriloquism through a parasitic observation of government funded observation of black holes. Gathered into data, the site is delivered to the astronomer Copernicus through a series of spatial portals. This ties a thread between Copernicus’s solar system model and the observation of hyper-objective black holes at the Very Large Array.
