AEON is a generative process. The smallest addressable element of the video – the pixel – is in a constant state of change, thus activating a process of artificial morphogenesis, which in turn recreates organic dynamics in a non-organic device. This expansion is the result of a technique called video feedback. One of the best-known examples of this phenomenon, is the whistle generated by by pointing a microphone directly into the speaker to which is wired. The whistle will develop and grow following the Fibonacci sequence, and when converted into video format, will translate into organic patterns that could theoretically expand infinitely. The generative approach is an indissoluble link between the device – the tv – and the content shown. The screen ceases to simply be a passive vehicle of content and starts actively participating to the making of content. It upends its role of communicator and abstracts into anti-content, presenting itself as magnetic practice. The resulting paradigm is a structure growing horizontally, heterogenous and without a centre, which expands in a rhizomatic way. It is this synthetic and hypnotic phenomenon which brings the invisible – the sub-strata of matter – to the surface.
