Scientists in many disciplines recognise the need for a new paradigm; a science encompassing all facets of knowledge: mainstream science, philosophy, the paranormal, religions, New Age, ancient knowledge; that will embrace life, mind, the universe and consciousness well beyond the narrow field of current science, which only handles the 3D universe, and in fact is es...

Artist Marleen Sleeuwits, known for her photography, objects and installations, takes this experimental book to propose a four-tiered representation of space: starting with two-dimensional images of space, that are then placed in a scale model, to the photos taken inside this model and, finally, to their convergence in this book. The spaces could be anything from a museum to a lobby or a passageway: locations we know as places for contemplation, for waiting or for movement. The condition of t...
