Pondering the knuckles 




Pondering the Knuckles (2021) is an performative installation showing two branches, made to move like limbs using wiper motors. The sculptures were programming using Perlin Noise, a type of noise often used to create procedurally generated terrain. With the pseudo-random nature of Perlin Noise, I believed it could lay a good foundation for the spontaneous behavior of an autonomous living being.By animating the branches with Perlin noise, they behaved between completely random and predicatable patterns, between difference and repetition.  When left alone for a while, they started to move around in the space, creating patterns on the floor. 

The work is part of a series of artworks on trees.
