The form of each path is created by an algorithm known as differential growth. A set of rules, that aim to reproduce naturally occurring structures reminding of meandering rivers or winding surfaces textures found in plants, seeds and organs. Its space filling behavior creates an ever expanding mesh, that simultaneously attracts and repulses itself. When etched on a circuit board, these structures can act as an electronic resistor. Applying power to one of these traces results in the rise of resistance, thus in the rise of heat.

On the opposite side of the circuit boards is a transparent surface, coated with a black thermochromic ink. In response to a change in temperature, the ink changes from black to transparent, uncovering the winding textures beneath.
Time after time, new traces appear on the surface, while others slowly vanish. A fluid display that reveals, hides, grows and resists.
