How do you visualise the randomness of the universe?

It’s easy to feel small in the vastness of the universe. Activated by randomised data based on scientific data, this dynamic kinetic sculpture engages in a continuous transformation to visualise concepts beyond the limits of human understanding. Morphing in both shape and colour, let your eyes follow the lines through the twists and turns of mathematical knots inspired by a symbol of the cycle of patterns, forms and dynamic flows that transcends all possible modes of perception. With no beginning and no end, the randomness of the infinite universe is brought to effervescent light.

How does your universe coil, knot and unravel?
