Almost Useful Machine - Entropy
Art Installation Design
2019
The world is always changing. The change is predictable at the first time, but it gradually become uncertain.
How can we create an uncertain phenomenon with a certain dynamic?
Entropy is a quantitative measure of disorder. —— Efstathios E. Michaelides
Order and disorder are just a relative concept, actually, there is only more order and less order.
Making a cycle of switching in order and disorder. Even if it is a cycle of order and disorder, the order and disorder in every time are different existences.
This is a one week practice in the course of “Almost Useful Machine” from Master in Design for Emergent Future, IAAC. To see more process information, check out my MDEF website here to have more descriptions.
「Entropy 熵，是無序的定量測量。」
無序的背後皆是有序配置的堆疊。看似沒有秩序的現象，其實都可以歸納出秩序，因此無序的狀態是能夠透過有序的配置 (設計) 所呈現。
這是一個創造混沌水波的無用機器，並渲染於地面，而這渾沌卻是利用單一的動力輸入源，透過機構及結構的配置製造出的序列的運動狀態所產生。
