Behind the Scenes

Installing my light installation "Prime" in Oslo, 2013. Fluorescent light tubes are turned on / off according to prime number sequences, producing an unpredictable animation that is in fact 100% deterministic.

For the solo show "All Your Vectors Are Belongs To Us" at TM51

Art and code since 1994. https://linktr.ee/mariuswatz

Deterministic Art !!!  :) :)
Well in a way we can say that most computer art that uses random numbers made by computers is in fact deterministic

Of course! But Prime is 100% deterministic, the sequence invariable... 

11 light tubes, animated by assigned a distinct prime number to each tube that controls how many seconds before it switches between on/off states.

As I recall, the total duration is about 30 days, the factor of all primes used.
