The Singer Notes tackle several themes: how do scientists translate their research into more concrete applications? how do they design experiments? the nature of colour as a type of energy; the fundamental differences between the analog and the digital; how do scientists (and in a broader sense, people) know what they know? In the first room of the gallery, a facsimile of the original Singer Notes binder will be placed upon a pedestal, thus harking back to Bochner’s display of his historical 1966 piece entitled Working Drawings And Other Visible Things on Paper Not Necessarily Meant To Be Viewed as Art. In the second room, the artist will install Measurement Perimeter, this first Measurement Room, which has never been exhibited. A major work, which can be seen as the culmination of the experiments and research undertaken at Singer Labs.
