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_200 is based on microscopic recordings (2–4 mm scale) documenting experiments with the formation of crystalline structures, observed under polarized light at high magnification.
The film captures the moment crystals begin to emerge and organize themselves. Polarized light reveals internal geometry and color shifts within the growing structures, making visible changes that occur as matter transitions from a liquid state into ordered form. At this scale, the process unfolds slowly and precisely. What appears on screen is a direct observation of crystallization in progress - a physical transformation recorded in real time, entirely in-camera, without digital intervention.
The accompanying soundtrack, created primarily using synthesizers, supports the visual atmosphere while keeping the focus on the evolving structures and their optical properties.
Microloop_200 marks a milestone within the Microloops series, an ongoing collection of audiovisual works exploring physical phenomena through macro and microscopic observation.
