Artist Statement:

This form is a linear exploration of a sweeping, fluttering form, changing states from rest to flight and back again. Its motion superimposed upon itself, it takes on a new form of light and shadow.

Technical Information:

Transmigratory Summation was created using Cinema4D and alpha plug-ins for Cidertank’s toolset testbed. The form is a series
of splines generated from a simulation of a flock of particles. The particles were coaxed through space using a goal object in real time. The splines were then lofted to create a NURBS surface. The composite was performed in Photoshop with line work done in Illustrator.
