Six Board Members with Connections to the Developer CPC, Casts a Questionable Light on the “New Domino” CB #1 Vote Tonight.

As members of Community Board #1 prepare to vote on their recommendation for the proposed future development of the now closed Domino Sugar Factory, more questions than answers remain. Undisclosed connections between certain community board members, and the Williamsburg based non-profit organizations they are associated with, to the developer of the site, have made an already tough process in clarity even more convoluted.

What happens when art and science collide? In “The Visual Collider,” a modern interpretation of an age-old question, artists Nina Czegledy and Marcus Neustetter are hoping for a Big Bang.

The Hungro-Canadian and South African artists, respectively, discussed their ongoing collaborative project during a lecture and reception at exhibition space Alma On Dobbin in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, last Thursday, January 7. Based on the Large Hadron Collider (the astronomically complex and expensive scientific mega-experiment that is attempting to recreate the conditions of the first moments of our Universe’s existence by smashing atomic particles together at incredibly fast speeds), “The Visual Collider” is the pair’s attempt to reconcile, artistically, the moment when the confluence of matter, or in this case photographic light, cease to be disparate identities and instead become one object.
