First presented at the Conference “Multidisciplinary Approach to Structural Biology. From Macromolecules to Cells” Poznan Science Center, march 2015
Combining scientific methods of scientific data visualisation with artistic strategies, Microscape recalls old philosophical concerns about the determinism and indeterminism, entropy and order inspired by the contemporary research on complex systems and processes of self-organisation in nature.
In the virtual world of Microscape, molecular structures are suspended in their functionality and doomed to their frantic thermodynamic dance in space deprived of gravity and aim. They appear as islands of some inherent order emerging “from fluctuation of the sea of chaos” (using Ludwig Boltzman’s term.
The piece gives the viewer an impression of being absorbed in some immense experiment of unclear premises and meaning, in the world of fractal identities, questioning the future of our micro and macro-scapes.
