Kinetic Canvases
Tangible Complexity / Welcome to an exploration of the intricate interplay between complexity and simplicity through our kinetic artworks. These captivating pieces fuse scientific principles with artistic expression, offering a unique perspective on the interconnected systems that shape our world.
At the core of our works are dynamic structures brought to life by fundamental scientific simulation models. These creations provide more than mere visual spectacle; they offer intuitive insights into the behaviour of complex systems that surround us daily. Through playful interaction, viewers are encouraged to explore these systems, uncovering layers of meaning that resonate on both societal and personal levels.
Accessible Kinetic Art / We follow a fresh approach to kinetic art, one that prioritises accessibility and everyday engagement. By reimagining the production and presentation of these dynamic pieces, we aim to democratise access to this captivating art form. Our works are designed not just for fleeting encounters but for sustained exploration in the comfort and safety of one's own home.
Respecting Privacy and Empowering Users / In an era of pervasive digital surveillance, our artworks are different. We consciously avoid sensors and external data collection, ensuring that interaction with each piece remains private and personal. By employing purely physical and intuitive controls, we restore intellectual autonomy to the viewer.
Sustainability at the Core / Our commitment to sustainability is woven into every aspect of our creations. From using recycled and recyclable materials to modular designs that facilitate easy repair and component replacement, we are dedicated to minimising environmental impact while maximising the longevity of each artwork.

D1Q6 Potts - Competing Interpretations
Concept
This kinetic artwork features a surface made of wool felt encased in semi-diffusive tinted plexiglass, displaying rows of monochrome pixels that change slowly over time. Each line represents a different coloration of the same multiscale pattern, akin to diverse worldviews forming a set of opinions. Following a statistical physics simulation model, the rolls turn to reveal various patterns with a temperature-dependent correlation between neighbour rows. Two quasi-analog wheels at the bottom allow to adjust the temperature and the speed of the state update.This piece invites viewers to explore coherence and entropy as opposing extremes, highlighting intriguing spatio-temporal structures in between. From randomly changing patterns—unbiased, free, yet overwhelming in complexity—to strong correlations that create a serene, predictable canvas with low complexity, the artwork encourages contemplation of observed structures and their dynamics in relation to personal psychology, societies, and the universe.
