NEWTON IS WORNG
is wrong is wrong
Installation view . Magnetic Levitation Device . apple . 2012
An apple, detached from Newton's law of gravity, floats in mid-air. It is both unfamiliar and familiar, embodying a spatial relationship between objects that may not conform to people's usual way of understanding. The work attempts to challenge the audience's understanding of object gravity and space, leading to a reconsideration and examination of their own cognitive approach.
The title itself is a paradox, attempting to challenge Newton's theory of gravity. Additionally, by misspelling "wrong" as "worng", it implies that even seemingly proven things may have uncertainty and errors, deliberately causing confusion and contemplation among the audience.
Throughout history, what has been considered as the truth has been consistently challenged and replaced by new discoveries and ideas, revealing the limitations of our previous understanding. The aim of this work is to encourage the audience to challenge and think about human cognitive paradigms and question those ideas that have always been regarded as truth.
