	~~»10~~^–300« was created as an accompanying computer simulation for the show »20.000!« at ACC-Gallery Weimar, a collaborative exhibition organized by artist [http://lodewijkheylen.be/ Lodewjik Heylen], Martin Schneider and the students of the »Meandering through Space« class (Maud Canisius, Linda Anna-Sophia Dertinger, Rachel Smith, Tobias Zimmer). The gallery floor was filled with 20.000 ball pit balls, ordered by color before the opening and subsequently brought into chaos by entering visitors. The balls mix slowly, create patterns, formations and sequences. The original structure falls apart into visual chaos, resulting in a fluid stream of color.		»1^–300« was created as an accompanying computer simulation for the show »20.000!« at ACC-Gallery Weimar, a collaborative exhibition organized by artist [http://lodewijkheylen.be/ Lodewjik Heylen], Martin Schneider and the students of the »Meandering through Space« class (Maud Canisius, Linda Anna-Sophia Dertinger, Rachel Smith, Tobias Zimmer).

	~~»10~~^-300«, as well as the other created digital simulations included in the exhibition, establish a theoretical parallel to the tangible installation and demonstrate both correlations and absurdities in the gap between the virtual and the analog. Dropping 20.000 balls onto a digital plane, one by one, in exactly the same position, will result in a perfectly balanced stack. However, the smallest perturbation — an offset of an enormously tiny magnitude (10^-300) — eventually has considerable impact and results in the collapse of the stack.		»1^-300«, as well as the other created digital simulations included in the exhibition, establish a theoretical parallel to the tangible installation and demonstrate both correlations and absurdities in the gap between the virtual and the analog.

	Rendering was quite a challenge and took several hours, since the animation becomes slower with each dropped ball. Additionally, saving the output as batches of png files required some internal changes in the code of CCapture.js → [https://github.com/spite/ccapture.js/issues/37 github issue]. The problem does not exist when exporting to webm format instead of png, and the quality is only ~~slightly~~ worse.
