Relative rotating grids creating complex forms from simple forms.
Digital animation June 2025
A work from my Complexity series studying the generation of complex forms from simple forms.
Identical simple grids of dots are superimposed and rotated relative to each other. The grid for this piece is shown below.
Simple algorithms dictate how the superimposed grids interact with each other. For instance where the same colours on each grid are superimposed on each other they cancel out to generate white and where complementary colours are superimposed they generate black.
The genesis of this series was my attempt to find a visual metaphor for the creation of the complexity of the universe from an almost absurdly simple starting point.
