Marcel Duchamp’s *Rotoreliefs* transformed the circle into a field of motion and illusion. *Hyperreliefs* carry this exploration into the digital age; using real-time generative code to create endless, never-repeating worlds. Both works reveal the circle as a portal where perception, time, and transformation unfold.
Marcel Duchamp’s Rotoreliefs (1935) were among the first experiments in transforming the flat surface into a dynamic field of perception. Spinning optical discs created illusions of depth and motion, collapsing the boundary between two and three dimensions.
Hyperreliefs extend this lineage into the realm of the generative and the digital. Like Duchamp’s spinning circles, they use the circular form as both structure and mechanism - but here the movement is infinite, algorithmic, and never repeating. Where Duchamp explored illusion through mechanics, Hyperreliefs explore transformation through code: real-time systems that continuously generate new visual worlds.
Both works share a fascination with the circle as a portal - an ancient, minimal form that, once set in motion, reveals the instability of perception and the endless possibilities hidden within repetition.
"Hyperreliefs explore the circle as a metaphor for existence itself: minimal, infinite, and always in motion. To see Hyperreliefs is to witness time made visible - an eternal cycle where form dissolves and reemerges. The work turn the circle into a living harmony - where code, form, and motion flow together in endless balance.”
Hyperreliefs are real-time generative artworks built on a circular structure that continuously unfolds new visual worlds. Using custom software, each composition evolves in the present moment; colors, forms, and rhythms never repeat, creating an endless choreography of geometry.
The circle serves as both structure and metaphor: at once mechanical and organic, ancient and digital. Within its shifting layers, the works evoke planetary motion, cellular growth, and architectural diagrams - an oscillation between the cosmic and the intimate.
Minimal and abstract in form, Hyperreliefs create a meditative space where viewers witness a world in constant motion. Time becomes visible as geometry breathes, expands, and contracts - an infinite cycle of becoming.
