Experiments are elaborate filters set up in the space of phenomena

I am secretly in awe of Olafur Eliasson, and found this quote on his Institut für Raumexperimente (Institute for Space Experiements) webpage:


“The physicist George Darwin used to say that every once in a while one should do a completely crazy experiment, like blowing the trumpet to the tulips every morning for a month. Probably nothing would happen, but what if it did?”
