In Perception of Consequence (above), Kamil Nawratil, co-founder of Brooklyn-based VFX and projection design studio Volvox Labs explores the idea of consequence and interconnectedness of systems. His personal project is a multi-dimensional animation project based on constraints of motion set by the rules of physics. Two fluid-evolving forms simulated to represent the evolving state of human emotions are projected against a 15’ interlocking structure. Control-activated whirlwinds heighten the dynamic movement within the space as the system evolves from an organic form to chaos.

The final installment of the series, “Poetics and Politics,” is currently on view at the Walther Project Space, in Chelsea.
