Kaleidoscope and the Model of the Universe

E8, Garetti Lisi's New View of the Universe

Garetti Lisi's model of the universe places all known particles and the four fundamental forces of nature (electromagnetic, the strong force, the weak force and gravity) onto an exceptionally complex eight-dimensional 248-point mathematical model known as E8 that was formulated in the late 19th century.

Since E8 is perhaps the most beautiful structure in mathematics, it is very satisfying that nature appears to have chosen this geometry. Elegant simplicity and complexity combined with the inherit reflective qualities of our world; natural forms repeat themselves over and over, the fundamental structure of the universe is incredibly beautiful.

Patterns as seen through a kaleidoscope tube

The beauty of the colourful mirrored systems is the base of the geometric imagery of the kaleidoscope - a finite box containing an infinite vision that creates the sensation of being part of infinity. You feel like the whole universe is a hall of mirrors: reflections reflecting reflections.

Yayoi Kusama: Dots Obsession 2004

In today's art there is a progressive effort to move towards defocusing, in which no single element of the composition is given more importance than any others: there is a desire to break down the hierarchy of the elements.

Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese contemporary artist has an obsession for infinity. She perceives the world as an array of infinitely repeating patterns, which she has termed infinity nets. Her work is the expression of these visions. You are drawn into Kusama’s world like the centerpiece of an echoing, infinite landscape and experience the dissolving into the world around you.

Kusama currently lives in a mental institution in Tokyo by choice while creating her infinity works. For a normal brain to imagine infinity seems to be impossible.
