"”But when you look at the aggregate effects of what happens to many, many galaxies, you find something else: your overall view of the Universe gets distorted. Wherever you have a large amount of mass in one location in space — a large-scale overdensity like a galaxy cluster, cosmic filament, or something even larger — it’s going to impart large peculiar velocities, including along the line-of-sight, to every mass that’s bound to it. With many observable objects all at the same distance, but with widely-varying redshifts, mapping out objects becomes challenging."

You've heard of Hubble's law: the law that the Universe is expanding, and that the speed at which we'd infer a distant galaxy to be receding from us is proportional to its distance away from us. That "speeding away" makes the light appear redshifted, and that's what we observe.

So, measure the redshift, learn the distance, and you can map out the whole Universe, right? Not quite; here's why that isn't the way to do it!”

而我會說：「這是一幅風景畫。」�展期：2021年4月28日 – 5月30日�時間：11am – 8pm (星期日及公眾假期休息)�地點： 香港藝術學院藝廊 (香港灣仔港灣道2號香港藝術中心10樓)�參展藝術家：何奇燄 | 簡喬倩 | 江俊雅 | 劉彥揚 | 蘇燕君 | 葉雯�策展人：江俊雅

當畫作完成，「它」的死亡也隨即而來；「它」將無止境地沉淪並溶化為冰冷無垠的群青色碎片。
有些人相信碎片中裝載著一個確切的天空。而我則想象畫作的表面是一個平滑垂直的世界，就像一塊䑃朧的玻璃。若透過這玻璃觀看，你會看到一群鳥兒在藍色的森林裏如打嗝般地歌唱。
也許，你現在會問「它」究竟是什麼，然而它的存在卻被言說拒絕。�而我會說：「這是一幅風景畫。」

Once the painting is completed, death begins; “it” will sink endlessly and dissolve in the cold shards of ultramarine, which is infinite.
Some infer that the shards must contain an absolute sky. I prefer to dream that the surface represents a world reduced to a smooth vertical surface, like a slab of opaque glass. And when you look through the glass, you shall see birds singing as if they are hiccupping in a blue forest.
Now you might ask what is “it” to be exact, but to speak of it is to refuse.�So I say, “It’s a landscape painting.”
