The balance between order and disorder. Emergent dynamic patterns - from calming coherence to chaotic complexity - explored through kinetic art.

more

At the core of our kinetic canvases are dynamic structures emerging from fundamental scientific simulation models running in real time. Besides a visually minimalistic and calming effect, the canvases offer intuitive insights into the dynamics of complex systems that surround us daily, with their complexity emerging from an interplay between ordering and disordering mechanisms. Through controlling the conditions of the simulation, viewers can explore these systems in a playful way, or simply enjoy never-repeating patterns at a chosen level of complexity.

We follow an approach to kinetic art that prioritises accessibility and lasting engagement. Our works are designed not just for fleeting encounters but for sustained exploration over long time scales in semi-public spaces or the comfort and safety of one's own home.

In an era of pervasive digital surveillance, we like to create oases without sensors or internet connection, ensuring that interaction with each piece remains private and personal. Direct tactile controls support a human-machine relation without hidden layers.

Our commitment to sustainability is part of every aspect of our creations. From using recycled and recyclable materials to modular designs that facilitate easy repair and component replacement.

D1Q6 Potts

info / media

A surface made of wool felt encased in semi-diffusive tinted plexiglass, displaying rows of monochrome pixels that change slowly over time. Each line is a different coloration of the same pattern. Following a statistical physics simulation model, the rolls turn with a temperature-dependent correlation between neighbour rows. Two wheels at the bottom allow to adjust the temperature and speed.
The artwork invites to explore coherence and entropy as opposing extremes, with intriguing dynamic structures in between. From randomly changing patterns — uncorrelated, free, yet overwhelming in complexity — to strong coherence creating a serene, predictable canvas with low complexity, it encourages contemplation of dynamic structures found in and around us.

Pixel Noise

info / media

Random arrangements of pixels that change at an adjustable speed. A comment on our digital lives, where we are bombarded with pixels often lacking meaningful content. Theoretically, a set of random pixels carries maximum information content; practically, it is devoid of substance, overwhelming our visual processing systems. This piece emphasises the need to filter relevant information from the vast amount of mostly meaningless visual stimuli in today’s digital society.

36XY Pendulum

info / media

Horizontal stripes of the CMYK colour palette in a frosty diffuse plexiglass enclosure. The colours change according to the dynamic states of 36 coupled pendulums. Although purely deterministic, the system exhibits dynamics ranging from regular oscillations to chaotic movements, showcasing smooth colour gradients alongside chaotic mixes. This work illustrates the emergent complex collective behaviour of interacting actors in systems such as societies, fluid dynamics and chains of thoughts. Two wheels at the bottom allow control of the amount of energy in the system and the speed of the movement. Colour modes (CMY, BW, CM, MY, YC) can be selected with a push button.
