Transmissions
is inspired by light, the primary 
medium of modern
communication.

Transmissions is a series of digital art pieces created algorithmically, inspired by abstract patterns and the hidden meanings they may hold. The inspiration comes from the Golden Record, a message sent into space, and I wanted to create intricate, alien patterns that hinted at a coded message.

Initially, my focus was on exploring the idea that complex visual rhythms could be generated from an algorithm similar to the one creating the interfering waves in my previous work, Genesis. These rhythms create the intricate patterns on the circular discs. I became fascinated by how these rhythms seemed to encode secret information, and as the project developed, I began to incorporate references to light, creating a relationship between light and sound.

The making of Transmissions was an enlightening experience, teaching me about the potential of abstract patterns to carry meaning. This led me to the exciting possibility of creating a pattern-based visual language that I explored in future projects.
