Neon Organic


Neon Organic is a project from Marius Watz, also author of the Universal Digest Machine. I urge you to have a look at his work, it is for me very inspiring.

Neon Organic is Animation for multi-screen projection (Java2D) of growing Curves, twisting and branching, forming tangled webs that resemble neuron pathways. The neon-like colors turn the shapes into explosions of light, before dissolving back into nothing.

The project was originally created for the facade of the Vattenfall head office in Chausseestr. 23, Berlin as a followup on a previous animation for the same facade. The piece opened on 27 August, and was voted the audience favorite out of 3 animations. As a result, it will run for 6 months on its own before being shown in rotation with the two others.

Since the Vattenfall show a new version has been developed for single-channel or multi-channel use.

Marius Watz is a Norwegian artist who's coming originally from the graphic design field. As an artist he's actually focusing on computationally generated form. His work has been shown at many international festivals.
