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_201 is based on microscopic recordings (2–4 mm scale) of experiments with liquid inks combined with carefully selected chemical substances that influence their behavior.
At this scale, the ink spreads and reacts in tightly framed spaces, creating intricate patterns that shift through contact, diffusion, and separation. Small changes in composition lead to visible transformations, turning simple movement into complex visual structures.
The image documents these interactions as they unfold in real time. Everything visible on screen is the result of physical processes, captured entirely in-camera, revealing how liquid behavior changes when observed at high magnification.
The accompanying soundtrack, built from voice samples and synthesizers, supports the audiovisual composition while keeping the focus on the evolving visual patterns.
Microloop_201 is part of the ongoing Microloops series, exploring how microscopic observation can expose the dynamic behavior of liquid systems and their capacity for continuous transformation.
