A Creative Pool project by Nicholas Alan Cope & Dustin Edward Arnold (United States)

Vedas is an ongoing project broadly based on the theme ‘knowledge’. Specifically the changes in thought established by Copernicus’ De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres). One of the earliest documents of the scientific revolution. It re-assessed man’s place in the cosmos and placed him at no greater value than other creatures on earth. Knowledge, it seems; is at once both expansive and contractive. It is a value exchange. For some it shakes foundations, de-stabilizes values and opens up the sheer terror of possibility. For others it signifies hope, advancement and discovery.
