Sound & Movement
0:00:40
An important component of The Morning Line is sound and movement, captured in this video by VernissageTV.

"A platform for contemporary music, The Morning Line is as much an instrument as a building, saturated with speakers, using a unique interactive ambisonic system designed by Matthew Ritchie and the Music Research Centre at York University....The interactive system registers the movement of anyone inside and converts their presence to build new and scaleable forms of music, new stories created by every visitor."

Endless Universe
0:01:25
Aspects of the visual language for The Morning Line are based on radical cosmological theories proposed by theoretical physicist Paul Steinhardt, the Albert Einstein Professor of Science at Princeton University, and cosmologist Neal Turok, Chair of Mathematical Physics at the University of Cambridge. Together they have proposed an alternative "cyclic model" to the origin of universe that diverges from theories that support the idea of a single massive explosion of matter and energy, explained in their book Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang.

Exclusive Episode #027: Matthew Ritchie discusses his exhibition The Morning Line (2008) in his New York studio, with animated architectural schematics of the installation. The Morning Line was on view October 2, 2008 - January 11, 2009 at the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville, Spain, as part of the 3rd Bienal Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo de Seville.

Matthew Ritchie’s artistic mission has been no less ambitious than an attempt to represent the entire universe and the structures of knowledge and belief that we use to understand and visualize it. Ritchie’s encyclopedic project (continually expanding and evolving like the universe itself) stems from his imagination, and is cataloged in a conceptual chart replete with allusions drawn from Judeo-Christian religion, occult practices, Gnostic traditions, and scientific elements and principles.
