Parallel universes are a product of the energy of intelligence. Through digital media design this energy can be interpreted into visual moments, allowing a glimpse into an invisible realm. “Moments from an invisible realm” is approaching post dimensions as a design tool, utilizing theoretical information to drive visual explorations exhibiting possible reflections from an unseen world.
“Moments from an invisible realm” is in the form of an interactive installation. Six sensors are hidden under the carpet upon which the user walks. When a sensor is triggered, one of six correlating visuals will appear projected onto the wall, creating windows into other dimensions. The user will be unaware of these sensors as to allow him/her to explore and experience the invisible.
The intended realization from experiencing “moments from an invisible realm” is for the user to visually connect to invisible frequencies all around us. The user is invited to understand parallel universes through design, to understand their beauty and to overcome fear of the unknown.

Raindrops perfectly simulate particles as continuously shifting elements. The rain is captured and made static, contrasting its constant motion and manipulating the agenda of time enabling possible futures and pasts.
Albert Einstein

“Strings of gravity vibrate at a different frequency than strings of light.”
Roy H. Williams

Alan Guth

“We begin to realize we are energy itself with all of its inherent possibilities.”
Ted Andrews
9th dimension
“It is important to remember that we are energy. Einstein told us that. And energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes form.”
Rhonda Byrne

“The universe is a symphony and the laws of physics are harmonies of a superstring.”
