Semiconductor, Crystallised, 2011.
Crystallised (2011) is a series of digital mineral crystal animations. They are generated and animated by sound recordings of ice crystals (by translating the waveforms into algorithms that create and control form and motion).
Each structure takes on a different
form, growing and evolving in exquisite detail. Mineral crystals reveal
atomic structures in their rawest form and provide an insight into the
make-up of the physical world, where simple shapes come together to
create intricate and complex formations.
With this series of
works, Semiconductor draw a parallel between these basic molecular
structures and the building blocks of the digital world that has become
the prism through which we increasingly experience "reality". The
animations suggest a pre-ordained pattern and order that underlies the
world.
