The Impossible odyssey
In the vast spatial and temporal scale of the universe, how long does it take to wait for a moment of perfect synchrony with others?
The device simulates a "living species" that relies on electromagnetic waves for information exchange. Each species emits a different type of "life signal" across the vast electromagnetic spectrum.
At the same time, the device simulates the "ocean" of the universe's electromagnetic environment. Once every minute, it samples electromagnetic signals and attempts to find a moment of perfect synchronization among these eight life species within cosmic electromagnetic noise. The probability of such an instant occurring is equivalent to a googol-year timescale (10^{100} years).
Nevertheless, on an infinite time scale, this extremely small probability event becomes inevitable. It is a mathematical certainty that can be reached, yet on the scale of lived time is almost eternal. Through algorithmic simulation, the device slowly approaches this moment of "perfect resonance", turning it into an endless journey of loneliness, despair, absurdity, and quiet certainty.
航向热寂点
在宇宙的宏大空间和时间尺度中，等待一次与他者的完美同频需要多久?
装置模拟了一种依赖电磁波进行信息交换的"生命物种"，每一个物种都在浩瀚的电磁频谱中发射不同类型的"生命信号"。
同时装置模拟了宇宙的电磁环境的"海洋"，其每分钟收取一次电磁信号，试图在浩瀚的电磁噪声中，试图为这八个生命物种寻找一次完美同频的瞬间。而出现一瞬间的概率，却需要宇宙“一生”的寿命：一古戈尔年（10^{100} 年）。
然而，在无限的时间尺度上，这一极小概率事件又是必然发生的。这是一个在数学上必然抵达，但在时间尺度上近乎永恒的等待。装置通过算法模拟艰难地趋近于这个"完美共振"的瞬间，使其成为一次孤独、绝望、荒诞但又笃定而坚实的无尽归途。
