Abstract
Mariko Mori's glass sculpture responds to the death of stars. High-tech artist Mariko Mori is exhibiting Tom Na H-iu at the 2006 Singapore Biennale, a glass monolith taking the cosmic pulse. Or at least, driven by cosmic radiation. Its internal light source is controlled by the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector, so the neutrinos governing its light emission come from a dying star, an echo of the spiritual or astronomical thinking that may have driven Neolithic humans to erect their stone monoliths.
