Phases of Nix
Animation inspired by the chaotic rotations of Pluto's moon, Nix. The exhibition includes a 'Nictian Calendar,' resembling traditional lunar calendars but non-functional due to Nix's erratic rotations.
The animation uses two photographs of Nix, with movement generated by computer scripts incorporating randomness, mimicking an unstable pendulum. The work questions our conventional understanding of time, which relies on continuous cycles and natural balance. On a surface where the sunrise direction is unknown, what other patterns can be used to record time?
