Noah Kalina’s “Labs at Night”

By Christine Huang on July 24, 2008

We’re struck by the eerie poignancy of Noah Kalina‘s photos of Labs at Night in this month’s SEED Magazine. The collection offers a rare glimpse of laboratories and centers of science and research after dark – and after the scientists, tourists, and custodians have gone home. As SEED explains:

[These] are places where science can go on without us (for a time). The rooms can go dark, but science still happens: Cells divide and grow; lasers pulse; elementary particles hurtle through magnetic fields; molecules jiggle along paths that might lead to life. So it is in these images that we find scenes of “potential energy” culled from a collective pursuit to understand the world. The scientists have gone home, but the ideas remain, manifested in experiments, moving autonomously in the darkness toward a revelation.
