A cloud chamber is a particle detector that allows us to directly observe radiation with the naked eye, including cosmic muons, enabling the design of an art installation meant to transform each detected muon into a visual trail and a corresponding sound, in real-time. In this everlasting cosmic ambivalence, there is beauty to be found not only in the attempt to keep life still, but also in the hope that every passing ushers in another unstill and transient being. This was presented at the Ars Electronica Festival.
