Iconographically representing a distorted tennis ball coming from space at ultra-high-speed with an explosive pupil in the center, the “Awake Third Eye Prophecy” is a sculptural device, imagined as a time compression parenthesis obtained by connecting a 9.000 years ago technic “the Earthenware” with a brand new experimental physics technology called “muonic scintillator” able to detect the passage, beyond the surface of the sculpture, of an otherwise invisible subatomic particle, signaling it with a light impulse.

“Third Eye Prophecy Awake” is an archaic element but alludes to maximum dematerialization, to quantum entanglement, to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, to the energy limit of the Planck Scale, to the discretion of neutrinos and the futuristic drifts of IMB’s quantum computing.

It’s a “WIMP”, literally “good for nothing”, but in scientific jargon, it represents the acronym of Weakly Interacting Massive Particle. 

It’s, first of all, a communicator in which complex systems collide, subliminally speaking of gravitational waves, dark matter, and multi-messenger cosmology.

It puts us in direct connection, through a simple flash of light, with a particle drifting, the witness of some gargantuan cosmic event that may have happened thousands of light-years ago, removing the distance that normally separates a hypothetical active observer from the decay of a probabilistic wave function, otherwise confined in the cryptic meanders of the mathematical language.
