Essential and first questions are answered differently by each person, complex but ultimately ridiculous and wrong.

My arty ,yet technical concept

All these thoughts appear kind of autopoietic, yet randomly. But one fact I discovered is to recognize the opposites / contraries of & in life to make order from noise. It is a metaphorical hint & a first advise given to me in the lectures of Professor Christof Windgätter.

The question I asked my self for that:

How to make order from all that randomness in my mind? How to make order from noise?


The answer:

I build a shader / video mapping sphere dealing with contraries & randomness itself on an highly asthetical level.

Tools:

Processing 4:

Within this I use the tool I created in my Bachelor studies in media art yet. It is called „makeSomeNoiseV4“. I created this tool for my self as a work for a GMU-module in the past & developed it in the younger past further & further.


My plan is to record several takes from 1minute, 3 times .

-> 1st layer consists of noise out of white, black & red

-> 2nd layer consists of noise out of white, black & blue

-> 3rd layer consists of noise out of white, black & green


Adobe After Effects CC:

I want to learn & use this tool for blending all three layers into one: via "multiply"-blend mode & render it out to a movie with 1 minute length. This movie serves as the raw material for the mapping in the next tool:

Unity 3d /Shaderlab:

I use Unity 5 / Shaderlab to make a shader, that gets mapped with the movie. I expect some mesmerizing footage from that & an art app that captures the buyers attention for a while. Because the mapping is dynamic & the sphere itself changes constantly we have a multidynamic experience delivered.

From nothing comes nothing. Reality builds everything out of nothing. What there is to say? It's about contrasts as mentioned earlier on a prior stage of this semesters project.

I guess this would lead too far. And too far, is not far enough.

When I pointed out that the universe answers with flowers to my questions, one thing is important. The Universe itself created everything, like solar systems, planets, living organism and us, humans. But the PC is something like a calculus universe from definition. Scientist steal from nature and it's meta concepts. So what I want to say that while coming away from this whole void of nothingness, we must go back to the universal concepts reality has to offer. Therefore you can consider space as an calculus itself. A very large one. Look at the work of Ralf Becker: Rechnender Raum. Maybe this has something to do with it.
