Morphogenesis

At the exhibition from October 20, 2017 to August 5, 2018

»Morphogenesis« (from the Greek »morphê« [shape] and »genesis« [creation]; literally »beginning of the shape«) is the biological process that causes an organism to develop its shape. The virtual reality piece inspired by the phenomenon of emergence in self-organized systems consists of a continuous transformation of basic geometric patterns and uses them as the building blocks of immersive spaces. During the audiovisual journey through different planes of the digital and physical universe, »Morphogenesis« embodies the systems that produce the complexity we encounter in the living world. Like the common characteristics of emergence that can be perceived universally, the audiovisual experience seeks to emphasize the systemic interconnectedness over space and time of all natural dynamics and how these dynamics result in creating novelty at micro and macro scales.

Exploring the ideas of geomorphology and mathematics and understanding the world, »Morphogenesis« requires the audience to be actively aware, and not just passive onlookers. It invites the viewer into a poetic and sensational world, where space becomes infinity, a primal sense of the immaterial world is experienced, and the process of creation is reevaluated.
