The view to and from the house that both the renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) and astronomer Bernard Walther (1430-1504) have called home. Light pollution, dust particles and stars are entwined and inseparable from one another in the large scale photograph taken of the night sky above the Dürer house, which has now become a busy tourist attraction.
Bernard Walther opened up a small window near the roof top of the house to use as a private observatory for his own practice in astronomy, as Dürer bought the house, that same window became a source of inspiration for his artistic practice.

This multimedia piece draws inspiration from 16th century ”drawing frames” and so called ”perspective machines”, devices aiming to assist artist in creating the illusion of depth on a two dimensional surface. Inventions that artist Albrecht Dürer help spread by publishing a treatise including illustrations, descriptions and step-by-step manual.
Incorporated in the piece is also an audio track, an excerpt from a guided tour of the LHCb experiment at Cern (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland. The experiment specializes in investigating the slight differences between matter and antimatter detected in collisions between particles almost at the speed of light.
The audio track (01.30 min loop) is not available for the time being.
