Dark Matter – One Million Years Later

At the exhibition from January 10, 2018 to March 18, 2018

The »Dark Matter« video is a digital animation. Based on the idea of the mass of hypothetical dark matter, an invisible component of the physical universe, which has not yet been confirmed, the work pretends that a kind of »digital matter« exists. The 10 min. video loop shows a primordial soup of colorful structures in constant transformation, which are entirely generated by shader algorithms and 3-D rendered.

Even though they seem to be based on microscopic material, or on telescopic views of distant galaxies, these images can not be related to a nonambiguous, real-world origin. The impression of creation in process is captivating; beautiful on the one hand, yet disconcerting at the same time because of the strangeness of its weirdly amorphous surfaces.
