Aberration of Starlight

Storyline

“Aberration of starlight: the apparent displacement of a star resulting from Earth’s orbital motion around the Sun. It depends on the ratio of Earth’s orbital speed to the speed of light and Earth’s direction of motion and thus provides confirmation that the Earth orbits the Sun and not the reverse.” Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Noren’s last major work is a visual symphony of astonishing variations on light, shadow, time, and spatial illusion. This is what Noren, quoting Lao-Tsu, called “practicing eternity” and “what the light was like.” According to Noren, “working electronically provides a kind of non-mechanical fluidity, a sense of floating, if you will. For me the digital apparatus is like a great visual piano of wonderful sophistication.”
