MA1 "Abstract Originals" Cube: Data is a mysterious artwork. Small rectangles materialise in unpredictable locations and then flip, building up vertical and horizontal patterns. The original generative art used in this piece is from MA1 “Abstract Originals” Micro Arts Group 1984. With this new video art, the enigmatic nature of data is revealed in 3D.
Original art by Geoff Davis, videography and soundtrack by Patryk Jaworski.
