VANISHING QUASARS is an AV Live Performance by Boris Chimp 504 (Miguel Neto + Rodrigo Carvalho) released in 2019.
A quasar is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus, but some have been noticed to be vanishing… rapidly. Boris follows up his quest on exploring the vastness of the universe, and heads to the coordinates of the quasar WISE J1052+1519 in order to explore this event. The most recent data suggests that this phenomenon might be related to shape-shifting changes of the Quasar’s accretion disk, around the stellar supermassive black holes.
Boris Chimp 504 has presented both AV performance & interactive installations on festivals such as Sonar (Barcelona), Mutek.Es (Barcelona), ADAF (Athens), BAM (Liège), ECHO (Dubai), Stereolux (Nantes), Iminente (Lisbon) among many others.
