Inspired by the organic beauty of the Phalaenopsis Blossom (orchid), Jakob Wagner's Flow Milk Jug, and the design philosophy of Scandinavian collective Muuto.

Muutos (noun) : change, modification, new perspective

Concept: This experiment probes the constraints of our biological and neurological systems, and how we perceive the world. These systems are limited by the capacity of our senses, which enable us to perceive time and space. Theoretical notions of time do not manifest materially. Time is an imaginary experience that occurs cognitively through sight–seeing light–and bodily motion through space, and how our minds process this information.

In contrast to conventional moving imagery, which represents time as a linear sequence of events that occur in space, this representation is non-linear and extra-dimensional. Each moment (frame) that you see in the Muutos contains a visual spatial representation of the objects from different and multiple perspectives, and all of the discrete temporal instances (frames) recorded during the entire event–and you see them simultaneously.

Process: The linear sequence of images that create the illusion of motion in Muutos were photographed in increments of 0.3 of a degree of actual motion as they rotated 360º. Using custom code, each recorded image (frame) was then vertically sliced into single columns of pixels–column by column. These discrete columns were then spatially reconfigured, one after the next, such that a single column of pixels from every frame, which represents a unique moment of the past, formed a new single image. This process was repeated for every image in the playback sequence. Therefore, each discrete reconfigured image (single frame) represents the entire event, as does the entire linear sequence (all frames) when played back over time.

Significance of Muutos: Conventional understandings of time and space have collapsed and we are able perceive an otherwise imperceptible dimension.
