Material Intelligence
I got some images from the panels that are on exhibition at the iNMO-Gallery at the moment. I mentioned them yesterday in my post about the Exquisite Corpse 2 Exhibition:
The second section of our exhibition consisted of a series of panels we created in order to explore the selforganization
qualities of material. Gypsum flowed along steel meshes, accumulating
on certain points and by doing so creating very specific nonrepetitive
patterns. This approach can be described as analog
computing.
Variables such as viscosity, friction, gravity & mass form together
a system of orders that create highly intricate,
nonrepetitive results.I´m curious for more explorations of this kind and the emergent behaviour of material assembly. You can also think of it in the way that waves who wash ashore a sand beach form constantly new patterns in the sand by a continuous
reassembling of the grains of sand. The sand, consisting of a population of millions of entities, and organized by forces such as the pressure and flow of water, the friction onto each other, gravity and wind result in perpetual nonrepetitive patterns.
