Creative Technology Research LibrarianPutting the Pieces Back Together Again
Created by Ralf Baecker in Stuttgart, Germany , 2018
With Putting the Pieces Back Together Again, contemporary German artist Ralf Baecker powers 1250 stepper motors positioned to pinwheel at the center of white acrylic tiles. Arranged in a black-backed grid, the tiles rotate randomly, with sensors reversing direction as they collide — creating a complex, constantly evolving geometric sculpture that reflects complex systems of self-organization.
