To Fail the World with an Open Heart

In 1902 the Venice Campanile collapsed. In 1911 Denver built a taller copy - and the papers joked Venice was copying Denver.

Murano//HUD:$ync.DF returns the glass to the ghost: Simulated Venetian glass on a Venetian tower that outlived its own original, now displaying time it never kept.

Venetian glass has no fixed colour. It splits light into whatever angle you catch it.

Simulated Murano, mapped onto 115-year-old stone: refracting, twitching, re-forming across the windows and cornices. Not projected decoration: a heads-up display locked to the building's own grid, syncing to the second. Old architecture running as a live optical instrument.

A clock tower that wears time instead of telling it.

For one month, Denver's Daniels & Fisher Tower was dressed in Venetian glass. The surface twitches once per second- seconds passing, rendered as glass instead of digits. And the host is perfect, as it is also a simulation: the tower is a 1911 replica of the Campanile di San Marco in Venice. We reconnected it back to Venice with a simulation of its Murano Glass.

Sunshine after rain. I love to break it to you, that's what's happening.

When we did some landscaping rnd in #unrealengine this year for @aliciakeys with @dianemartel_ , @helloawalker put a pink moon in there and it was an instant hit. In the final stage version it is a refined ultra pop art piece, but we felt a nerdy dark scifi version should also have its emotional hayday. taken in Vestrahorn Iceland by @zeitguised

This installation is a dynamic setup in 3D simulated space. It consists of a few basic elements connected by a minimal set of simple rules, all calculated live on location, in real-time. The result is a complex and ever changing form, a dynamic cloud or swarm, without inherent programmed swarm behaviour or any other "purpose". An adapting, intelligent presence with emergent behaviour as a result of simple geometry and forces, and not an inherent presumed intention. To question our (human) idea of what intelligence is and whom we share it with on this planet.

Coming from architectural design, computational form is a key focus in the visual work of ZEITGUISED. We are specifically interested in transitional shapes, forms that lack a finite definition, forms of “becoming” or in other words, forms that are constantly changing and therefore point to the specific “momentness” of reality.

Over more than a decade, I’ve been working on transient forms that elude a finite description as they are constantly “becoming”, like clouds. This one here is a recording of an infinite live simulation, endlessly recalculating new states based on previous ones. It never is the same. What you see is a momentary state that will never occur again. This complexity does not result from sophisticated purposeful algorithms but rather very simple elements: geometry and physical forces, very much like the configuration found in the universe.
After reading James Bridle's “Ways of Being” I realised that the term ‘intelligence’ can be opened up further than to animals, plants and fungi: for example to physical processes like this one. This piece is simulating what is now a common hypothesis about the emergence of life: amino acids forming spontaneously by way of mere topology (minerals in the shape of washed out cavities) with basic atoms and molecules swirling about and clumping together in myriad ways in the fluid dynamics of water.
Any process that brings about complexity or new forms is inherently intelligent.
