Artist Statement:
There is a duality in nature between waves and particles, between the continuous and the discrete. This artwork presents a carefully crafted, mathematically based, drawn spiral, using a continuous sequence of discrete rendered spheres. The artwork represents the duality between order and chaos. It allows the viewers to either emotionally or intellectually focus on the mathematically generated spiral line, or rather to focus on the mania of the space as a whole.
Technical Information:
A small set of spheres was pre-rendered using a purely algorithmic/ parametric approach in order to serve as atomic elements for the rendering. Then the spirals were drawn using these pre-rendered maps as 3D sprites on a 2D canvas with a depth mask. This allows lighting conditions to be captured on the original rendered spheres and then simply reused throughout the canvas, in a fast, sprite-like sequencing of the 3D elements.
