nkScape (2008)

Nkscape_medium

The focus of the piece is a cross relation between highly complex, ordered computer processes and random events. The electronic layer of nkScape is generated in Mathematica using Steven Wolfram's first class of complexity characterized by prolonged and repetitive sounds. By changing the initial conditions of CA, 10 chords are generated, each 1-minute long. The additional layer is a recording of traffic in my street. The visual layer comes from taping shadows on the wall of my apartment one late summer afternoon. The video recording is processed by computer generated gradual change through color spectra.
