What Is The Speed of Dark?, What If The Earth Stopped Spinning?, and Is Anything Real?

Michael Stevens, Vsauce

Kochi-Muziris Biennale

Fort Kochi, India

Michael Stevens is a poet-philosopher of the information age. He is the creator of Vsauce, a popular YouTube channel that seeks to tell its viewers amazing facts about the world they live in. A compelling narrator, Stevens in successive videos draws viewers into a whirlpool of recurrent enquiries. In a manner that marries the fluidity of spoken-word poetry to a science or philosophy lecture, he sets out to find answers to questions that are a skillful intermingling of the profound with the seemingly naïve and absurd. In videos that are displayed across the venues of the Biennale, Vsauce attempts to answer a range of questions that many of us may have thought of as children but have since stopped asking: What Is The Speed of Dark? What If The Earth Stopped Spinning? and Is Anything Real?

Delivered in Steven’s inimitable style, these videos act as playful punctuations within the narrative of Whorled Explorations.
