Dancing, 2024

2 Display screens and 3 programs
32 x 57 inches

Here three software programs developed using Maya’s Bifrost language are coordinated to create three abstract soft body objects that coalesce to form an interesting dance-like motion. Collisions are abundant, yet no blending occurs; colors change, and yet are not uniform; complex forms evolve, ultimately reducing to simple, colored strings. One is tempted to draw an analogy to string theory, but with the reverse of inflation. The evolution of this work is largely unpredictable–it is Algorithmic Inferences themselves that develop the sequence over time and create the forms, admittedly with some strategic guidance to establish the transition from complex to linear intersecting strings that eventually disappear.
