big bang 2

I think I may have solved the issue with Big Bang that I mentioned in the earlier post, with candles and a cake (which I need to make or buy yet). This will be a celebration for the universe, Big Bang Birthday!
The light bulbs will have to be used for something else. A standard Feit Electric CFL white-light light bulb has a color temperature of 2700°k, maybe it will be something about that...

test of Big Bang, I need a different extension cord

Driving down I-80 from Chicago to Joliet I came up with an idea for a piece called Big Bang. It is (or will be) made of an extension cord, 3 light bulb plugs, and 3 light bulbs (red, blue, green). The colors of the light bulbs are the primaries of the light spectrum; when combined the three colors make white light. I thought this might symbolize the first creation of light, but I've now realized that light was not produced by the universe until 300,000 years after the big bang. I will have to re-think this piece, but I think it can still work in a similar (astronomical and humble) manner.

perhaps I could reference this with my light bulbs...
