Crossing & The Nomadic Lines of Flight
Shirley Shor (USA)

The piece attempts to create a notion of liquid architecture. A mutating grid is generated by software code. An unstable structure in motion, Nomadic Lines of Flight is about spaces construction. The time component activates and transforms these spaces by challenging our perception of boundaries - constantly shifting the boundaries causes space to become temporal.

Crossing, 2003
Software Art Installation
Crossing is a random network of pure black and white trajectories whose occasional collisions suggest a possible topography; an action of writing and erasing at the same time; a form of appearance and disappearance.

The grid animation is generated in real-time by computer software, and is based on a set of simple rules. It creates a complex visual structures consisting of abstract lines in motion. This organic-like architecture challenges our perception of space, time and boundaries.
