Eorisis #21

Eorisis is a generative artwork created by the movement of 1000 double pendulums.

A double pendulum is a chaotic and complex system that generates a unique pattern with each swing. The lines vary in width and darkness, depending on the speed and amplitude of each pendulum's swing. The resulting drawn image is dense, visually striking, and sensitive to initial conditions, representing the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the system.

The complex and unpredictable nature of these images inspires feelings of awe and wonder as we attempt to comprehend the intricate patterns created by the pendulums. The image's dense and complex nature captures the observer's attention in an effort to understand the mathematical and physical principles behind the movement of the pendulums. At the same time, the repetitive and rhythmic movement of the pendulums in a seemingly effortless manner creates a calm and serene landscape.

During the creation of the image we only see twenty of the one thousand double pendulums.

Eorisis (αιώρησις) in greek means swing; the periodic motion of a body whose orbit is a circular arc.
