BIBLE BULL BULLIT: Kunsten Festival des Arts

2015

The Earth spins at 1670 km/hr on the line of the equator. This decreases by the cosine of the latitude so that at a latitude of 45 degrees, cos(45) equals .707 and the speed is .707 x 1670, which equals 1180 km/hr. Despite these velocities, modernity’s interchanging hierarchies BIBLE BULL BULLIT spin on wheels. Still. Leandro Nerefuh’s artistic practice, it is safe to say, spins at 1670 km/hr, at least.
