»10^-300«, as well as the other created digital simulations included in the exhibition, establish a theoretical parallel to the tangible installation and demonstrate both correlations and absurdities in the gap between the virtual and the analog. Dropping 20.000 balls onto a digital plane, one by one, in exactly the same position, will result in a perfectly balanced stack. However, the smallest perturbation — an offset of an enormously tiny magnitude (10^-300) — eventually has considerable impact and results in the collapse of the stack. | »10^-300«, as well as the other created digital simulations included in the exhibition, establish a theoretical parallel to the tangible installation and demonstrate both correlations and absurdities in the gap between the virtual and the analog.
