VOID Tenerife

VOID Tenerife is a series of works exploring the connections between cosmic forces, geological time scales and processes and human ecologies on the island of Tenerife.

VOID Tenerife proposes the creation of a human-wearable device which deposits particulate dust, ashes and sand as the wearer walks, marking and responding to the real-time impact of cosmic-ray muons. Walks are conducted in suitable underground caverns formed by volcanic activity on the island of Tenerife, mapping the live incidence of cosmic rays. A film with sound and music was created based on one underground walk.
