Let there be fire...
From a classical point of view Fire is the fourth element.
It is also the source of the fifth: Light...
Man is the only animal on Earth that knows the art of manipulating fire.
Maybe that's why we also love to play with it. Even though it can be a very hungry beast.
Flames come from many different sources, slowly burning candle lights inside a house,
or flickering gas flames outside on the street, public fires celebrating midsummer,
new years fireworks, sparks and natures own lightning etc.
Further off the sun shines, and trillions of other stars.
Actually the universe is filled with fire...
Inside the image
Each living image consists of maybe 100 or more images, either stacked or sliced side by side.
Each image contains up to 50 or more elements with different speed, size, color or angle.
All images and elements within move more or less syncronized with the rest.
All according to a simple rule: Neighbors follow, opposite ends eventually diverge.
Thus there will always be several small pockets of local order in the global chaos, wandering around, in a slowly mutating landscape.
These fiery animations are extremely long; so you'll never see the end. But you can always watch a new variation...
Fullscreen displays a 1024 X 768 pixel version, without any text.
A small menu is hiding in the right bottom corner. But it only becomes visible, when touched by a mouse.
Clicking the image (most times) switches full and normal screen.
A tapestry effect is created, by repeating image in background, both vertically and horisontally...
Slideshow automatically displays everything in the chosen gallery, giving each animation 5 minutes.
Slideshow can begin anywhere in the gallery. Versions, like "reverse" or "tapestry", can also be changed without interrupting the slideshow.
When slideshow reaches end of gallery, it continues from start ...
Reverse stack of images, so top becomes bottom, and bottom top...
If you see a pattern moving right or left, up or down - it's an illusion. If you see a pattern starting ordered and gradually becoming chaotic, this is also an illusion. In fact, the pattern itself is an illusion...
Braindrops keep falling in my head
Mirror reflecting upon itself...
Another attempt to exhaust infinity. Or could I say: to be or dot to be..?
The Ocean is served...
Doors to elsewhere...
Living landscapes...
Exo flowers: Unknown plants drifting in interstellar space...
Animations: Mads Dam.
Music: Lars Mikkes.
Collection of unknown materials:
Alien artefacts, floating out there in galactic space.
Perhaps on their way to something we do not know. Maybe not even awake.
Perhaps they are slumbering, dreaming about real aliens, even as strange as us.
Collection I + Collection II.
Fire and flames...
Disturbing the atmosphere...
Living crystals - frozen life...
Different animations in different directions. A gallery for stuff outside galleries and collections...
