My concept is about other dimensions. 
I started out researching thoughts and 
theories about  possible unknown dimen- 
sions, other than our own, from various 
scientists. I found out about the LHC, or 
Large Hadron Collider, which CERN (Euro- 
pean Organization for Nuclear Research) is 
working on. The present, biggest collider 
in the world is the RHIC (Relativistic 
Heavy Ion Collider) and is situated in the 
Brookhaven laboratory, Uptown, New York. 
Many theorists and scientists believed 
that if the RHIC would be fully acceler- 
ated it could possibly create a black hole 
or even a gate into another dimension. 

In 2005, the BBC featured a story about 
the Romanian scientist Horaţiu Năstase, 
who works at Brookhaven, who accidentally 
created a „ball of fire“ which bears eery 
similarities to a black hole. 
He created the fireball by fully powering 
the accelerator.

The construction of the LHC are near to an 
end and it will be turned on in may 2008. 
The LHC is 7 times larger than the RHIC. 
The LHC’s main goal is to find the theory- 
particle „Higgs boson“, which is supposed 
to be the „thing“ that makes everything a 
mass. By finding the particle, the scien- 
tists can get as close to the „big bang“ 
as possible. Other fields of exploration 
that the scientists are hoping to venture 
into include creating a portal into other 
dimensions, time traveling and a lot more.

During this research I stumbled upon so 
called „dream-dimensions“; imagined and 
made up worlds, created by writers and 
other imaginative individuals.
The dreamworlds are often right in front 
of us, without us knowing. I looked more 
into dreamworlds and finally bumped into 
the dreamworld Oz (Lyman Frank Baum’s The 
Wonderful Wizard of Oz). 
The Kansas native Dorothy literally got 
sucked into a hurricane which carried her 
into Oz. „As a matter of fact“, Oz really 
was in the Nevada desert, hidden from the 
human eye. Oz has 5 counties, each county 
has it’s own color scheme (Purple, yellow, 
red, blue and green) all the surroundings 
and all inhabitants of each county are in 
the same color as the county they’re in.

My piece uses the same characteristics and 
rules as Oz; color-coded „counties“, magic 
and last but not least a dream-dimension 
which is hidden in our own environment.
