Mutual by Moodsoup
This generative artwork consists of three distinct visual representations sharing a connection to a primary framework from which they cannot be detached. Although separate manifestations seem to exist, they all emerge from a common fundamental substrate. They are not disparate but are anchored to the same underlying structure.
The first state is the ordered state. Ratio and rigidity dominate the visual landscape resulting in an architectural feel. Straight lines and strictly ordered shapes combine to hint at an aerial view of an urban landscape or an organised network.
All Mutual pieces are a triptych. The links underneath the pieces take you to a live viewer where you can click on the image to go through all three 'states' of each piece.

The second state is the excited state. The strictness of the grid of lines starts to loosen and slowly dissolves. Emotions and instinct thrive, and nature takes over. The straight lines bend and warp to shape an organic, fragmented canvas. The geometry escapes its rigid structure like an electron freed from its atomic orbit.
In the third state - the interaction - both states reach a certain equilibrium, mutually occupying a collective space. Like both sides of a brain, these two states form a collaboration in the sense that they work together without being each other's opposite.
Sometimes stable and well-balanced, sometimes balancing on the tipping point of reverting back to one of its former appearances, signalling their interdependence.
