A data-driven exploration of complex systems, combining Cambridge’s architectural imagery and zoning plans. The DNA of the urban environment—its structures, patterns, and networks—is transformed into a new visual matrix in which enlarged nanoparticles replace photographic pixels. Two-dimensional imagery extends into augmented reality, allowing forms to move beyond the physical artwork and creating a shifting dialogue between material and immaterial, flat and sculptural, real and imagined space.

 

…within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, interconnectedness, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, and self-organization (Chaos theory).
