POSTCITY

Silent diptych video installation developed originally from the series of diptych prints lttrans (2018) inspired by “laminar–turbulent transition,” the process of a laminar flow becoming turbulent is not yet fully understood scientifically. The print piece is expressed before and after transition on each panel, while the animation presents its constant by displaying each non-transitional motion respectively in parallel. Since the original print works were created as static images, context was animated afterwards.

Images generated based on the detected feature point of captured natural plant life are split into a diptych, and oppositional algorithms (order/disorder behaviors) are applied to those images. Vertical/linear movement representing laminar flow is applied on the right-side image, and on the left side one random motion/step is applied as turbulent flow. It shows confrontational evolutions presented as laminar and turbulent flow: unidirectional and chaotic motion.
