Ariathney Coyne (GR/US)
the mind is circular is an interactive program which highlights and pays tribute to the constant stream of movement occurring on a sub-atomic or planetary scale. The code was created for Deep Space with Processing and consists of revolving particle systems that react to participants’ position and velocity. The intention of the program is to spotlight and emphasize movement and its traces in space, but also accentuate the paradoxical motion within total stillness.
The artist invites all participants to jump, sit, run, roll and explore how the traces of their bodies can be visualized in space; furthermore, Coyne investigates how cooperation amongst participants can result in the creation of complex and aesthetic patterns.
