description About

In “Small Survey on Nothingness”, the artist Christoph Keller investigates the relationship of nothingness to the ambivalent medium of ether in the context of art and science through a series of conversations. Exposed as a scientific fallacy, ether was banished from scientific research at the same time that the substance and its properties was discovered by the artistic avantgarde. The artist research film explores the traces of nothingness and ether, from Michelson’s experimentum crucis to the recent discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN.
