Kamil Czapiga, also known as Cosmodernism, is a Polish artist whose creative adventure began in his adolescent years when he joined the local art school and later continued his artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts of Katowice. Studying Graphic Design, he received a bachelor's degree from the illustration class of 2012 and began his career as an illustrator and tattoo artist, running a tattoo studio and creating original designs for clients from both Poland and abroad. In April 2023, Kamil Czapiga decided to focus exclusively on his Cosmodernism intermedia art project, comprised of abstract video art, photography, and original sound design. This project allows Kamil to explore personal abstract expression through micro and macro observations captured with a microscope and hand-made precision optics mechanisms, resulting in images that feel otherworldly, but are firmly rooted in real scientific experiments. Kamil uses various kinds of chemicals, dyes, objects, interesting reactions, both from the world of chemistry and physics, despite not having a scientific background, choosing to follow his own intuition and trial-and error method instead.
In addition to his strictly authorial work, his project is also based on various collaborations with other artists, musicians, institutions and brands, such as the European Space Agency and DTU.

Microloop_178 is based on macro-scale recordings (7–10 mm) of experiments with liquid inks and carefully selected chemical mixtures that directly influence their movement and interaction.
At this scale, the inks no longer behave as a uniform surface. Instead, they spread, separate, and collide, forming fluid patterns that evolve through contact and reaction rather than external force. Color becomes structure, and motion emerges from the chemistry of the materials themselves.
The image captures these transformations as they unfold in real time - a continuous process of diffusion, tension, and reconfiguration. Everything visible is physical and recorded in-camera, revealing how subtle changes in composition can produce complex and unpredictable visual behavior.
The accompanying sound layer, built from voice samples and synthesizers, supports the visual flow without shifting attention away from the liquid dynamics on screen.
Microloop_178 is part of an ongoing series of audiovisual works investigating how simple substances, when combined, can generate rich and cinematic forms through natural interaction.
