Part of the Transitional Forms research project “Recycled” is a generative video installation that explores the aesthetics of transformation—both visible and invisible, material and emotional. Oscillating between abstraction and emergence, the work engages with the cyclical nature of matter, memory, and energy. It reflects on the perpetual processes of decomposition and recomposition that define existence, not only in the ecological realm but within psychological, cultural, and technological domains.

Drawing inspiration from biomimicry, signal behaviour, and affect theory, the piece visualises a landscape in flux: a rhythmic choreography of morphing textures, dissolving shapes, and reassembling structures. Here, motion becomes a metaphor for impermanence, and transformation is no longer just change—it is a method of becoming.

The act of recycling is not merely environmental but ontological. In Recycled, form is not fixed—it is a condition of being in transition. Frequencies collide, digital material breathes, and fragmented remnants of the past reconfigure into speculative futures.

This continuous loop of breakdown and rebirth invites the viewer to consider how identity, culture, and memory are also constantly composted recoded and reimagined through cycles of rupture and renewal.

In this immersive video meditation, the digital becomes organic, the artificial becomes alive, and impermanence becomes the core engine of creativity.

Technically, Recycled is constructed through generative algorithms and real-time manipulation of digital textures. Using custom-coded systems and audiovisual synthesis, the piece evolves continuously —driven by data, randomness, and internal logic that mirror the organic unpredictability of natural systems.
