30 Interacting Disks
Abstract moving image February 2015
An abstract moving image work from a series in which multiple copies of a single shape move and interact using simple computer algorithms, creating complex shapes.
In this work 30 disks follow circular paths. Where even numbers of disks overlap they present white, while where odd numbers of disks overlap they present black.
A key motive behind these video animations is the linking of art and science through the exploration of the creation of complex forms from the interaction of simple forms.
Below are some still frames from the animation.
