Artist Statement:
Vex is broken geometry. You can hear it screech and groan as it undulates under pressure, until the moment it snaps and explodes into a furious and broken – but perfectly synchronised – dance of both sound and form. A behavioural computation model directs Vex’s geometric movements, which in turn conducts its granular soundtrack. Vex never repeats itself. Its visual and sonic contours tightly follow a seemingly natural pattern of movement, randomly disrupted by the broken algorithms that drive it. Vex takes you on a journey between the ambient and the violent.
