Using a state-of-the-art laser system to draw with four high-speed dots of light, Fragile Territories creates morphing patterns of volatile luminosity. The process responsible for creating these shapes operates on the idea of uncertainty and change: a computer program evaluates statistical data, grabs momentary states, and feeds them back into its own system; what is displayed and made audible cannot be entirely predicted and will never repeat itself. The sound generation and path of light are both divined from the same program, and are two representations of the same process. The work is constructed around repetitive elements on varying time scales as well as on slow transitions between parameters and states using weighted random functions, thus adding to the notion of instability and potential failure.
