Spacetime Dialogue: Integrating Astronomical Data and Khoomei in Spatial Installation

As advanced technology reshapes our perception, the dialogue between humans and the universe undergoes a transformative shift. Understanding this evolution within the vast expanse of spacetime can illuminate our path forward. To illustrate this paradigm shift, we propose the creation of a spatial art installation that embodies the revolution in dialogue. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and methodologies spanning cosmology, anthropology, philosophy, astronomy, acoustics, computer science, and nomadic traditional singing, we embark on a transformative journey. This work juxtaposes the most advanced astronomical observation practices of humanity with the ancient nomadic tradition of conversing with the cosmos using artistic language. Specifically, it engages in a dialogue between the astronomical data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the throat-singing tradition of Khoomei. Subsequently, the work models the propagation of these sounds in three-dimensional space and materializes them into tangible entities. By immersing observers in the spatial representation of this dialogue, we offer a profound experience of humanity's evolving relationship with the universe within the fluidity of spacetime.
