Van Helmont Sample

3D Model

“Van Helmont Sample” is a combination of digital objects, traditional and procedural graphics, immersed in a state of oblivion due to the narrative of an empty attic placed in the space of the virtual world. This combination mimics the process of self-generation, where the traces left within the system are the material for the formation of new activities. The installation refers to the constituent parts of the naive experiment of the Renaissance, which supposedly resulted in the creation of the mouse. To confirm the dominant theory of self-generation at the time, it took: a closet, an old shirt, and a handful of grain.
