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_194 is based on macro-scale recordings (7–10 mm) of experiments with liquid inks combined with carefully selected chemical substances that influence their behavior and interaction.
Through these mixtures, the inks begin to move in unexpected ways - expanding, breaking apart, and reorganizing into evolving patterns. The image focuses on the moment where color, viscosity, and reaction intersect, producing forms that shift continuously across the frame.
Rather than being shaped by external force, the motion in this loop emerges from the properties of the materials themselves. What unfolds on screen is a direct record of liquid dynamics, captured in real time and entirely in-camera.
The accompanying sound layer, built from voice samples and synthesizers, complements the visuals while keeping the emphasis on the visual transformations of the inks.
Microloop_194 is part of the ongoing Microloops series, examining how simple chemical interactions can generate rich, cinematic pattern formation at macro scale.
