Raven Kwok's Algorithmic Immersion: 1194D^3

artist · 2026-05-05

Chinese artist Raven Kwok (b. 1989, Shanghai) presents his latest immersive installation, 1194D^3, part of a series of 'algorithmic creatures' based on the mathematical rule of finite subdivision. Starting from a tetrahedron, recursive division creates ever-smaller parts, resulting in a hypnotic visual symphony. The work explores the aesthetic of algorithmically generated images, celebrating geometric proliferation and quasi-biological form generation. The video documentation showcases the piece enveloping the viewer in a parallel universe of shapes and colors, enhanced by a soundtrack.
