“Path. 13, Quaver Cipher” is a film that follows an explorer’s research into his diverse cultural origins. Led by his ‘conversation’ with muons - cosmic ray particles that travel across galaxies to reach Earth - he journeys into mythic realms and higher-dimensional spaces.
Performing for the camera, Boedi Widjaja interacts with atmospheric muons with his custom-built sensor—a working instrument made of double geiger-counters and an opensource algorithm—in a multidisciplinary work that enfolds performance, algorithmically processed poetry, CGI, and experimental photography. To make the film, Boedi developed a photographic method to manifest the presence of invisible muons; and the images were described by renowned muography scientist Professor Hiroyuki Tanaka, University of Tokyo, as the world’s first fine art muography that he has seen.
The work continues Boedi’s decade-long research into body, memory, language and encoding, informed by the intercultural liminality of his migrant experience.
