Big Bang

The color TV was in no hurry to paint our lives. Black and white “Record” lived in our family a record number of years. Under old age, he lost the reducer handle. It was replaced by pliers.

His image spoiled day by day - and I set myself in the place of the TV: “I am old. I'm blind. Find me on the back so that I get banged. ”

But most of all I liked when the image suddenly disappeared - and hissing goosebumps appeared on the screen. The interference resembled a bee swarm. I loved to look deep into the inside for a long time and try to see something unknown, strange, or maybe hearing someone's SOS.

To peer and imagine what is possible, so, from these flickering points the universe came ...

And how did I know that this gray hazel and quiet hiss had already turned the consciousness of two young researchers from America. Studying the distant facilities of the Cosmos, Robert Wilson and Arno Tendesis reached the radio waves of our “Record”! Their antenna was constantly fixed by a stable signal, even in a disabled state. His nature was unclear. The only thing that was known was wherever the antenna was directed, the noise frequency remained constant and unchanged. The “empty” channels showed the same thing. Robert Wilson and Arno Tendesis contacted colleagues from Australia and Europe and asked if their devices are fixed in any direction. A few days later, the data was confirmed. The fact that the antenna in New Jersey was able to catch was impossible to call neither a noise from the ground, nor a rumble of cities, nor a satellite ...

A series of works "Big Bang" is a logical embodiment of those imaginary plots that were born in my small children's head from this gray-white roy-shum. With you was the Big Bang channel. Do not switch. There is nothing there.
