Superimposing a working algorithm onto the river brings about a merging of machinic and personal time (time from a human perspective). The algorithm is a cellular automaton, whose individual cells “live” or “die” according to preset rules. Its action appears very synthetic and very organic at the same time - the marvelous thing about all cellular automata.

The sound here was composed after viewing the video. It is not directly motivated by the movement, forms, or structure in the video, but its progression and density are a response to the energy in the images. The river itself, meanwhile, can’t be captured in any real sense but (maybe) goes on forever, always eluding stillness.

Artist: Nous Sommes Fragiles (John Kamevaar + Nell Tenhaaf)

Select Artists: Seeking the Periphery collection image

‘Seeking the Periphery’ (StP) is a Canadian Contemporary Art Gallery bridging the digital and analogue divide. StP acknowledges that all cultural artefacts are representations, regardless of origin or material property. Artists always ‘represent’.

The energy contained in a work of representation (art) has material agency. Everything contained in the Gallery is a form energy and materiality, including NFTs, ephemera and time-based work.
