Abstract

In the Atlas Tree installation, imaginary maps and charts move across a tree trunk. ATLAS TREE lets you observe the motion of the mapping in different scales, from the motions of microscopic nutrients to macro-level movement, from the movements of industry and society all the way to the cosmic scale. The work is different every time, as it is generated in real time based on various random and simple algorithms.

ATLAS TREE – Teemu Määttänen (FI) In this installation, imaginary maps and charts move across a tree trunk. ATLAS TREE lets you observe the motion of the mapping in different scales, from the motions of microscopic nutrients to macro-level movement, from the movements of industry and society all the way to the cosmic scale. The work is different every time, as it is generated in real time based on various random and simple algorithms. “My art explores the relationships between space, light, colour and movement, as well as the associations that are created by changes in them. I want to create works that allow these ideas and observations to be shared with others.”  Teemu Määttänen has created projection-based installations for galleries and light festivals, and he has worked as a media designer, set designer and lighting designer for dance and theatre productions since 2006.
