In optics,”Fermat’s principle” proves that the path traversed by a ray of light from source to reception, always is that which takes the least time, independent of how many times and through what mediums it is refracted. In it’s time it was a magnificent discovery and a great source of Cartesian panic and tantrums. But fear not. This is no common Lovecraftian horror awakening in the ancient dark beyond. This one has a much more subtle beauty. It seeps through any mechanical defence like some sort of martian time-slip. It rear-ends you with massive ethereality. Causality is and was whiplashed, in reversed slow motion. It’s a wave rolling off-shore. A bone thrown in the general direction of the sun, coming down as a meteorite in the general direction of ones temple. A heightened sensation of orbit, of centripetal and centrifugal pull. A reminder that once we were human.

Richard Alexandersson (1982) graduated with a MA in Fine Art from Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 2011. In his work with animation, sculpture and text, he explores the possibilities of art as a communicator between the virtual, physical and spiritual planes, in the digitised age of endless possibilities and endless responsibilities.
