· audiovisual generative project with IRL installation.
· release on Infinite Ink.
*More info TBA.
Broken Mirrors is a system that never truly stops, only shifts its form. A dialogue between repetition and fracture, a world that never stops moving, where each disturbance becomes the only moment of stillness we can see. Harmony is constantly rewritten, and every action fractures the composition only to rebuild it anew.
cemhah (
@cemhah), known for his intricate systems of particles and digital reflections, builds a visual architecture from hand-drawn GIFs to fragments of motion mirrored into complex mosaics. Constellations of moving particles mirrored and tiled into quiet symmetry.
Murphy James (
@mvrphyjames aka NotJamesMurphy), composer and creative coder, scores the system with a generative music composition, different on every iteration, and guided on an IRL setup by 8 MIDI parameters. These shared parameters influence both sound and image, binding them to the same logic.
The result is an audiovisual organism in which order and disruption coexist. Instrument notes introduce a brief interference: bursts of noise flood the mosaic, dissolving its particles before quietly reappearing again. The drawings remain constant, yet the rhythm of their disturbance never repeats. Every 3:33-minute iteration is unique.
The work questions what happens when movement never ends.
If everything keeps flowing, what does it take to notice the moment? To interrupt the repetition, even for an instant?
In SPARK, visitors will be able to use a custom-built controller to experience its endless iterations by tweaking its multiple parameters. You will be able to create and mint your own moment of fracture, a reminder that perception begins the moment the pattern breaks.
