Clouding presents cooling fictions in the warming age with computationally programmed figures and optical tricks. Appearing to be alive matter, a series of frames are in fact products of virtual masses sculpted by thermal collision and dynamic forces. Cold particles consumed by concentrated hot air in motion, result in unclassified species that grow, morph, and dance elegantly over time. The animated figural forms of physics simulation aim to construct fictional narratives in fragments that poetically critic the current climate emergency with fundamental matter, temperature, beauty, and artificial life.

Six panels of frame sequences reassemble the visual logic of locomotion as a historical icon in art and science for studying animal and human movements using sophisticated photography as tools of measurement, representation, analysis, and behavioral discovery. Each measures 16” x 16” (40.6 cm x 40.6 cm), , these panels are to be printed with lenticular techniques and installed on customized lightweight frames, creating three-dimensional animated illusions.
