Concept Art

“If an individual does not appear in the matrix of order, then order itself becomes devoid of meaning.”

Each individual serves as a maintainer of order, continuously dedicating their part to sustain the matrix of order. Without individuals woven into the matrix, the order itself would be rendered meaningless.

Individuals are like to being enveloped by a river of order, where one can feel its flow with a simple reach. This river connects events and entities, its unpredictable nature captivating our senses. Once individuals embrace the concept of order, they can freely navigate any point along this river, even transcending time itself.

Project Information

Project: The Maintainer of Order
Date: 0701-2024
Type: New Media Installation

Device Consists of:

– Cinema4D 3D Modeling
– Cinema4D Texturing
– Cinema4D Simulation
– Cinema4D 3D Animation
– Physical Sculpture
– Sound Art
– Computer Numerical Control
– Engineering
– Soldering and Welding

Mechanism + Technical Setup

The rotating structure of the device is CNC-machined and supported by a welded carbon-steel frame. Carbon steel and aluminium are used throughout the installation. Screens are mounted magnetically on the metal framework. Data and 5V power cables run along the structure, connecting to the transformer and the control unit. A central motor drives rotation through a slip ring, enabling continuous 360-degree movement.
