This article concerns “absolute void” as an impossible notion to describe via a reductionist approach, whose irreducible relativity emerges from efforts to imagine it – from the CERN laboratories to the artworks at MoMA. Science teaches correlations among things, not things themselves. For this, with photography and artworks, the article reflects in detail on objectivity, multivariate universes, minding the time that brings exclusive universes into the same framework, conceiving an infinite intelligence, an artificial consciousness to see things in that time.

The art of Raoul Servais is concerned with the most serious criticisms of 1968 and looks for the freedom and justice that humans pursue, touch a lot of areas and contexts from religion to science, mythology to science fiction, psychology to culture: authoritarian regimes that eliminate science; armies trying to sweep colors from the world; executives trying to share the body of a dead mermaid; filmmakers trying to be faster than their shadows; bosses who incorporate hippies' colorful ideas into their own benefits; 'super powers' that invite people to religion with theocratic gas bombs. Consumption, technology, authority, unhappiness and lost meaning woven with commodity values.
