The artwork is the set of rules, which construct a system in which the viewer is an essential part. These pieces blur the line between artwork and art-making tool. Like a musical instrument, the effect of the program on the mind is equal to the effect of the mind on the program. Similarly, with these artworks the intention is for a person to feel an instant and intuitive sense of presence and control, while spending more time with a system provides greater reward. Although there are few suprises when you visit a beach or pond, the experience is subtly different each time. These systems let you touch an immaterial world that has consistent and predictable reactions, and the infinite variety of nature. With the introduction of the iPhone and similar devices, your body now directly connects with these systems through physical touch.Įach work in the Dynamic Systems Series is what scientists call a dynamic system: a model of natural, mathematical or algorithmic reality. These works take the cursor-the projection of the body into the computer-and create a system in response. Take a close look at a desktop computer's screen and you'll notice that the most lively element is the cursor: the only object that moves with personality. The only way one's body enters a desktop computer is through the mouse, and the cursor is the projection of the body into the screen. Myrmegraph is part of the Dynamic Systems Series, a series of screen-based artworks driven by human touch.
