The kinetic object Simplex translates the phenomenon of visual noise — which only exists in the screen-based world — into a physical experience. Seventeen polylactic acid shapes, generated based on a standard two-dimensional noise algorithm and then applied to a three-dimensional object, form a physical screen. Lit up by a fixed light source, the individually rotating shapes together create an animated visual noise screen through ever-changing light-shadow-situations.
