In 1983, artist Betha Sarasin and musician Markus Ganz started to develop SPIRALPROJEKT, a generative multimedia project, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute. Sarasin wanted to achieve an orderly spatial movement for the cube, to make it fly and capture infinity.
In 2024, the multimedia project that Betha Sarasin and Markus Ganz thought up was finally realized. In the early 1980s, it was not possible, among others, to generate music in real time.
Forty years later, EXPANDED.ART and the Foundation Betha and Teff Sarasin present SPIRALPROJEKT, powered by Highlight and curated by Anika Meier.
SPIRALPROJEKT was adapted to P5.js by coder Benjamin Berger. It creates unique animated spirals with randomly selected colors and branches. Each spiral is set to spatial music. The sound shifts with each cube sequence, simultaneously altering the colored backdrop in real time. Once fully developed, the spiral endlessly traverses its own musical space.
