BY IT SELF / GENERATIVE SCULPTURE
Final work of BA theses, 2017
_
BY IT SELF is machine who following principle of self - organisation* generating patterns. At work, this concept is played as a installation → which itself is interpretation of complex chaotic mechanisms, where each smallest irritation is able to make changes throughout the all system that gradually smooth out and settle.
/* Self-organization is a system that can continuously reproduce itself by moving from one stable state to another. It deals with borderline issues such as chaos and order
_
WHY?
This concept exposing fundamental representations, in the search for unconventional aesthetic processes
Picture: Slime mold / Gints Gabrans "Out of nowhere" (LV artist) / Conway's Game of Life
_
HOW?
Conceptual goals: Bild environment who can deal with borderlines as chaos and order thru simple way of transition from one state to another, following principles of self-organization.
First visionary thoughts / Solution (pendulum method)
Practial goals: To build the machine which can represent self-organization process, by using basic computing platform Arduino to affect method of pendulum.
Approximate posible circuit

DOCUMENTATION OF WORKFLOW
In the begging clay was meant for representative material of self organisation, but because of the viscose of clay, no desired results were achieved.
First sketch, experiments, clay, work flow, problems / possible solution.
_
/2
Simple water based colour was good solution to achieve final results. Electronic was helping to make this process alive, by "controlling" valve solenoid and motor.
First primitive pendulum whit colour, experiments whit electronic, search for right materials, a lot experiments.

FINAL RESULT
