re:move: Distinction / Net Excellence
Many artists have explored the world of shockwave to create exciting and intoxicating images. Lia, through re-move, has presented us with the most compelling and professional of these.

Each of the ten works presented through *re-move* is worthy of note in itself but the bringing together of this body of work is truly impressive. What sets this apart, however, is that not only does Lia present us with the tools to create stunning works, but she also shows us her vision for the work and her achievements through the portfolio which accompanies every part of the site.

"Lia's pieces in the re:move series have been refining much of her earlier outputs in more focused pieces in the project Turux. It's all, of course, about mathematics and geometry; it's all about motion, time, and simplicity. It's about creating complex interaction and generative audiovisual experiences, where the pieces are open to the inputs of the user: it's about creating systems in which the control over the events is shared between the author and the user.
Some pieces have already been described as "drawing machines" in the sense that they provide the user with fundamental tools for graphical manipulation, but this classification is over-simplistic, as all the pieces indeed provide the tools and the framework for elaborating the compositions but simultaneously do not allow for full control of the output since their dynamic nature makes them evolve and mutate and their presentation is void of operating instructions of any sort, leading the user to hands-on experimentation.
By interacting with the pieces, human interference is added to the system: by selectively changing some of the variables that govern it and increasing the overall complexity of the audiovisual outputs generated to the point where surprising unpredictable compositions arise."
