States of Matter reimagines the physical world as a virtual experience. Inspired by emerging research in quantum physics, the immersive video and sound environment makes visible the complex phenomena of matter through a poetic imagining of newly discovered states that exist beyond what we can perceive. Technologically, the artwork was created with custom algorithms that generate simulations through a physics-based logic. Fueled by physics and informed by aesthetics, States of Matter invites us to find our place within an evolving relationship between the physical and virtual worlds we inhabit.
