MORPHOGENESIS

Revealing the Euclidian grid of the building was a starting point for the morph genesis of the anima_ta. By connecting the existing rows of columns of the building six pairs of lines became visible. The design results from the influence of the force turbulence in these twelve lines that follow the direction of the columns.
.
By transforming them to ‘soft’ curves, a net of related point-locators, defined exactly in space, was constructed. By introducing gravitation the ‘frozen’ lines became ‘elastic’, supple to the forces applied. The result was differentiated by testing combinations of magnitude and attenuation values. The animation of the curves was paused in the frame of time that provided the desired quantity of the force influence in order to achieve the suitable spatial relationships. These alternative forms lead to a new relation of body and display beyond the Cartesian geometry of 90 degrees. The twelve curves in space are translated into structure and content of the exhibition.
.
The aim was to re-habit the space, reading and re-analysing its basic principles infecting it with a temporary presence, which will “abuse” and dissolve its clearness providing the environment needed for the exhibits. anima_ta form has been generated by an artificial intelligence imitating the morphing of a living organism through environmental dynamics in time.
