Confetti – United States

Confetti is a generative composition built from a swarm of random walkers, particles that move step by step in unpredictable directions, each trailing a ribbon of bright, saturated squares. Their motion is shaped by Perlin noise, a smooth, natural-feeling randomness often used to simulate organic phenomena, pairing fluid movement with crisp geometric form. With every refresh the field reorganizes itself, never repeating, never still: a celebration of color and structured chance.

BIO

Chris Barber is a generative artist working at the intersection of code and creativity. Using tools like p5.js and openFrameworks, he brings algorithms to life as dynamic, animated digital art. By combining technology, randomness, and a sharp visual sensibility, his work generates unique compositions with every refresh—known for its vibrant palettes, fluid motion, and mesmerizing patterns.

Strange Projectors #448 Dreaming – United States

Video is treated as a physical material. Frames are stacked and remapped into volumetric space, allowing time to be cut into and reshaped. Dreaming introduces a fluid, current-like motion in which forms move through a stream of images. Recorded footage is transformed into spatial structures that exist between moments.

BIO

Brandon Eversole is a visual artist based in San Francisco, working with moving images, treating time as something that can be shaped. He stacks frames, remaps footage into volumetric space, and cuts through time to shape moving images as form. His work has been exhibited on the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco and presented internationally through exhibitions and collaborative projects.

Maya Alam

Interference Fit Canyon
“by Maya Alam uses an entropic drawing process to capture the coalescence of solid and fluid states of matter within a single object. The drawing is comprised of contours that delineate a cube with hard edges that appear to be soft from particular vantage points and soft edges that appear to be hard from others. These contours are mapped back onto the cube geometry in a transitional process whereby the legibility of the cube becomes progressively more inscrutable. The drawing process parallels the effects created by the presence of a cubic object within the L.A. River that disrupts the flow of water and accentuates the presence of detritus. A process of continual erosion acts differentially on the object over time, transforming its appearance and performance in relation to water flow”. Marcelyn Gow

Fluid State

Alyson Shotz is an American artist based in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated with a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1987 and an MFA from the University of Washington in 1991. Alyson Shotz investigates issues of perception and space with sculptures made from a range of synthetic materials such as mirror, glass beads, plastic lenses, thread and steel wire.Karen Rosenberg wrote: “Ms. Shotz evokes natural phenomena with accumulations of beads, pins and other common materials…Often they respond to the challenge of visualizing concepts from theoretical physics (string theory, dark matter).”

Garden – United States

Garden is a generative glitches animation created by deliberately conflicting AI (LoRA) models. Using multiple LoRA models to generate images that evoke flowers in a garden, the work transforms traditional representations of plant life into a fluid and hallucinatory exploration of growth, decay, and metamorphosis. These transformations suggest alternative ways of understanding organic growth, where the boundaries between individual organisms become fluid and permeable.

BIO

Michael Betancourt is a contemporary Cuban-American critical theorist, filmmaker, and artist-researcher known for his pioneering work in the fields of Digital Capitalism, Motion Graphics , and Glitch Art . Since 1990, he has explored the intersection of technology, culture, and aesthetics in a diverse practice unified by a constant concern with the poetic potential of images generated by errors.

Björk: All Is Full of Love

The video reaches its harmonious climax as the robots join in embrace, still being detailed by the robotic machines beside them.
Each robot was designed by Cunningham, faces reminiscent of Björk’s own delicate visage. The sterility of the room and lighting and the rendered movements of the machines contrasts with the fluid motions of the robots as they connect in a purely human method.

Milo Moire

FLUID ECSTASY
by Peter Palm
is an artistic underwater video work by Peter Palm, which he realized on the island of Mauritius with the conceptual artist Milo Moiré. Filled with a naive sexuality, this short film lasting just under six minutes reveals surreal, grace-filled perspectives on the female nude. Beneath the surface, within the concealing element of water, nothing remains concealed.
The title “Fluid Ecstasy” describes a trance-like, natural bliss in the flow of merging.
“Fluid Ecstasy” presents a metaphysically ambivalent ambience that documents our prenatal state of becoming in the form of a visual metaphor. In an analogous notion of being, “being” is understood as that in which everything partakes, though in various ways. The origin of all life lies in water. Peter Palm shows the nude Milo Moiré in a peaceful world, comparable to our “being” in the womb prior to our birth.
Both Milo Moiré and Peter Palm have done without technical aids, with one exception … flippers, which make reference to the metamorphosis from fish to Homo sapiens.
The video was created during numerous dives.

White Hole
Contemplation of The Cosmos

The collaborative installation White Hole between artist Mariko Mori and Architects Kengo Kuma is a experiential structure designed to contemplate the arise of the cosmos using a light weight structural form. The large white dome is built from spray polyurethane, primarily used for insulating buildings, applied over a draped mesh, forming the catenary structure. Kengo Kuma termed the structure Bubble Wrap which is then inverted to form a rough dome. The expanded polyurethane material was selected for its capacity to create volume from very little material, which the architects claims to be comprised of 99% air.  The envelope has the characteristic of being in a fluid, unsettled state, as though just created or born.
