Technological advancement in computational and science of materials brought us a new conceptual framework of experimenting and study material properties in its full complexity. Creation and experimentation with emergence phenomena brings matter into unpredictable behavior that allows to create far from the equilibrium systems.
In this paper I would explain the process of analysis for a material emergent system studied in DECLIC Directional Solidification Insert on-board the International Space Station (ISS) utilizing video and images and process them as artistic practice and a science visualization tool. Comparing material morphogenesis and emergent properties in zero gravity with biological morphogenesis, establishing a sci-fi narrative of life origins.
Jorge Ramírez (Guadalajara, México, 1981) is an architect, composer and sound artist transferring marginal processes between music and architecture, in the imminence of the intractable. The precise and the indeterminate, error, repetition and exception and the perceptual repercussions of time and space are all questioned in the manipulation of material from its essential physical characteristics. Creating anomalous micro details and using error as structure provides an analogy to tectonics, where the precision of accidents, the order in the midst of chaos, creates a dialogue that envisions landscapes beyond sound.
