garden of forking paths
garden of forking paths is an installation making use of the physical connection between electrical resistance and heat. A matrix of printed circuit boards forms the canvas for a dendritic maze. Designed algorithmically, the maze reproduces naturally occurring structures, reminding of meandering rivers or winding surfaces found in organic life.

In a delicate negotiation, proximity, distance and the length of the maze’s paths need to be carefully balanced in order to result in electrical resistance and heat. On the other side, a thermochromic surface will block the view in colder areas, while allowing for a deeper glance into the maze where heat opens a window. A fluid display that reveals and hides, transforms constantly and invites contemplation on growth and entanglement.
