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_203 is based on macro-scale recordings (10–15 mm) of experiments involving different liquid substances, observed from below through a glass surface.
The sample is placed on a rotating platform mounted on a glass slide, allowing the liquids to move and reorganize while remaining optically accessible from underneath. A custom lighting system illuminates the setup from above, and light passing through the materials reveals variations in flow, density, and interaction between the fluids.
This configuration makes it possible to observe fluid dynamics from an unusual perspective, where motion is shaped both by rotation and by the optical properties of the liquids themselves. The image documents these processes as they occur in real time, captured entirely in-camera without digital manipulation.
The soundtrack, created primarily using a synthesizer, accompanies the visuals while keeping the focus on the physical setup and the resulting visual behavior.
Microloop_203 is part of the ongoing Microloops series, exploring how alternative observation methods, precise lighting, and controlled movement can expose new aspects of liquid dynamics at macro scale.
