Between 0 and 1: Numerical Dream or the Generative Transformation of Virtual Space (1988)

"Between Zero and One" is created by changing the numerical values of geometric shapes such as a cube. This process generates an infinite variety of unimaginable forms, inviting us to decipher their potential meanings. The generative aspect replaces the traditional narrative and opens a space for contemplation.
What looks like a miscalculation is a hyperreality emanating from the machine. Instead of the rectilinear Euclidean geometry of the cube, the screen shows dynamically changing viewing angles through constant floating point operations between zero and one. These images in motion, called cubic time, allude to the mathematization of space and time. Each iteration reveals previously unseen pictorial spaces, challenging us to decipher their enigmatic allure.
At the time, taking screenshots with a camera was the only way to capture what was happening on the screen. These screenshots were shown in our exhibition "Hidden Lines" at the Werkbund Gallery in Berlin in 1988. The essence of the digital metamorphosis "Between 0 and 1" is to question fixed positions and invite the viewer into a fluid state of interaction with the virtual world. Like a modern camera obscura, the transformed images are snapshots from the inside of a living digital world into the real world. They reveal an aesthetic of unpredictable data space. As the art historian Alexander Dorner has said: "Every movement of the point of view radically changes the view of space.
