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_195 is built from macro-scale recordings (7–10 mm) of experiments with liquid inks combined with selected chemical substances that alter their flow and interaction.
As the materials meet, the inks begin to reorganize across the surface, forming layered patterns that shift through contact and separation. Color spreads unevenly, creating areas of density and transparency that change continuously over time.
The image emphasizes process rather than outcome. What appears on screen is not a fixed composition, but a sequence of transformations driven by the physical properties of the liquids themselves. All visuals are recorded in-camera, preserving the immediacy of the material behavior.
The soundtrack, created primarily from voice samples and synthesizers, accompanies the visuals as an integral but secondary layer.
Microloop_195 is part of the ongoing Microloops series, focused on observing how liquid systems generate complex visual structures through chemical interaction at macro scale.
