Jeremy Shaw: Towards Logarithmic Delay

Jeremy Shaw’s work explores altered states of consciousness and the belief systems that arise around them. Blending science, spirituality, and speculative fiction, he creates immersive installations that straddle documentary and myth, drawing from philosophy, anthropology, and pop culture.

“Towards Logarithmic Delay” presents three new sculptures examining thresholds of space, perception, and belief.

“Maximum Horizon” (2024) features stained-glass windows set into raw drywall, evoking both religious iconography and sci-fi aesthetics. The design suggests an unreachable digital horizon, merging sacred and technological visions of transcendence.

“The Distance Between Infinite Folds Is Still You” (2025) presents three fused glass Klein bottles—non-orientable shapes coated with DMT residue. Referencing psychedelic and quantum experiences, the piece hints at alternate dimensions and the limits of representation.

“Devotion Structure (Accumulated)” (2025) is a steel votive stand with 247 red glass candleholders. Flickering LEDs and ambient sounds intensify into a vortex animation, invoking ritual, reverence, and the hypnotic pull of belief.
