Machine Elf 16 – Creator of Worlds | Trey Ratcliff & Sam Wave

“Creator of Worlds” explores chaos and order and creation from nothing. The actual work is a high resolution physical installation about 75 inches across and is embedded in a wall, running in a continuous loop forever. Here’s a photo of what the art installation looks like on the wall:

Creator of Worlds

The visual art consists of mathematical fractals that are changing, growing, and being destroyed over time and then recreated from the void. A collaboration with composer Sam Wave we started with the concept of a heartbeat – the heartbeat of a mother that an infant hears in the womb. The piece demonstrates how life at all stages and throughout the course of its journey has the influence of both masculine and feminine energy guiding the entities evolution.

For us, this work at times reminded us of coral and represented life before personified life. It allows the participant to let go of thoughts and enter a more calm reality. This is the first work in the series made by Trey and Sam. You can find out more about Sam here.

Daily Photo – Happy Village Kids

On my last trip to Africa, perhaps my favorite thing was visiting this incredible village. The kids were so fun and full of life. I mean, they had only basic sustenance like food and water, but that didn’t stop them from loving life. Their clothes were all very clean and brightly colored. This was a special village celebration, so everyone wore their favorite outfits.
