Portal, a sculpture installation inspired by research of black holes created by Rebecca Kamen, visiting scholar and artist in residence in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has been selected as the cover image for the second edition of Handbook of Arts-Based Research. Published by Guilford Press, the book also includes a chapter on the research and development of Kamen’s art/science work.
The Portal Installation was created in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s discovery of general relativity. It was also inspired by the John Archibald Wheeler Notebooks at the American Philosophical Society. Portal was exhibited at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC, in 2015.
