a studio project by jonathan Creelinvestigations provoked by DR. hendrika Buelinckx

Spring 2010 Topical Studio

with just a little water, methane, nitrogen, and ammonia, you can make a delicious primordial soup. be careful though. you might just invigorate a new life. Dr. harold Urey tested this recipe first using a closed circuit of tubes and basic ingredients which are thought to have been the basic gases in the earths atmosphere several millenia ago. an apparatus was built to circulate these building blocks past an electric discharge. the resulting mixture was noted to have many of the amino acids necessary for the sustainability of life. mmm. tasty.
