Multiverse makes me think of two things:
One - The term 'Underverse'; which is from the Riddick movies.
Two - Multipass; which is what Leeloo repeats a lot in 'The Fifth Element'.
Lol.
But I do like this picture, though. It's really cool.

I have no idea, maybe somebody is using it. The only way to really prevent it is not to post it on the internet, that is the dilemma... I hate watermarks, they usually ruin the picture, so I just post lower resolution pics. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for reply ,so,low res. pic;s make it difficult to use them? Thanks.

It will put some limits on how you can use them. Of course, they would be good enough for web presentation, but if one wants to use them in some printed material, then the higher resolution would be required.

Excellent answer,thanks.As it happens,my pic;s are taken on a palmcorder [photo - 1 meg pixel ] and mostly they are zoomed in .So v. low quality.

Very cool. I'd love to see the actual sculpture, shame Washington is MILES away. I like how the photo simultaneously makes me feel like I'm zooming through space but at the same time watching something very ordinary (people browsing in an art gallery). Clever.

In real life the effect is even stronger, the moving lights combine with the moving walkway, it is really cool! Thanks for stopping by!

This is one of the best photos of this installation I've ever seen. Not so many lights, more poetry

I saw the pic as a thumbnail and though immediately recognized the National Gallery ! I've tried to take a picture of it too, but it turned out pretty bad. So, good job !
