Alan Bender - Exploding Dark Matter Secrets

Artist Cornelia Parker explored her ground-breaking (literally) work, 'Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View' by getting the army to blow up a garden shed in order to re-create the first moments after the creation of space and time. Here follows an abreviated report from the grey literature:


Underwear is unnecessary said the impertinent scientist
Hidden pleasure is a my hypothesis

Observations will be collected all day in the darkness
of missing unmentionables in a waste elimination zone

The budding scientist kept her secrets hidden
She could not find a place to publish her journal entries
but she discovered while repeating her results
why Einstein had eliminated socks as a variable
as he built his theory of time and space

The truth of her miscalculation was uncovered
by accident when a big boom scared her pants off
