Electricity is not a man-made invention. It is a resource that alters the mankind with its widespread use. The world has rapidly changed when humans had succeeded ruling over electricity as a result of their drive to control. When John Cage was talking about Electronic Muci, he mentioned the dilation of the concepts in music. As long as electricity exists, the musical note could be eternally long, and sound could be generated in much higher volumes. Artworks also discovered new positions in the changing and improving dimensions. Jan Tinguely prefers to show all the operational parts of the system while forming his kinetic works on electric structures installed on mechanical systems. The work became mechanized and the noise became a part of it. In this sense, chaos fed humans as a fruit of Industrial Revolution and the World Wars. Forever Series is a minimal and perfectionist bearing series of works that examines the structure of chaos and machines from a different perspective. As long as electricity exists, perfect global forms that continue to do their programmed movements will wander an infallible line of the physical world in a minimalist manner. This wandering status will be obtained in a kind of repetition that will withdraw people from thinking. Chaos will become normal and eternity will extend to repetition.

We will witness a visual world created by the body movements of youngsters who suffer from Cerebral Palsy at Art Beat İstanbul at Lütfi Kırdar Convention & Exhibition Centre on September 14th-18th, 2011.

The project curated by Selçuk Artut who is an instructor at the Department of Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design Program at Sabancı University and CDA-Project’s artist. It is run in collaboration with The Spastic Children Foundation of Turkey – Creative Arts Therapy Center.

In this project, the young participants followed the movement of the camera data as a communication tool instead of widely used standard computer devices such as mouse, digital pencil, touchscreen to turn aesthetic criteria into form. Thus, they create an alternative way of a self expression.

Project Co-ordination: TSÇV Creative Arts Therapist Nilgün Türkcan
Project Development Assistant: Alp Tuğan

Artists: Benay YILMAZ, Kıvanç YENİAY, Ali SARKANOK, Anıl IŞIK

For the design I have programmed an iterative algorithm in Processing to develop the design layout.
