Oliver Hockenhull’s mesmerizing computer-animated short transforms the physics of Cherenkov radiation into a kaleidoscopic visual experience. Pulsing with luminous colours and rapidly evolving forms, the film evokes mandalas, crystals, organic structures, and abstract energy fields. Accompanied by shimmering music, this hypnotic work explores the beauty hidden within the fundamental structures of matter. Ideal for screenings, galleries, and exhibition installations.
"It is as if you are looking at Meaning itself, traveling down to the realms below ordinary experience where the energy patterns that generate the world are circulating. The music combines brilliant, sustained chords with shimmering notes.
Hockenhull writes that the mathematics which generate this video represent the radiation emitted by charged particles. Its beauty is generated by a deep structural quality of matter itself, translated through Hockenhull’s artistic skill. The mesmerizing quality of the film comes from the rapid and unceasing changes, so that the beauty always seems to be slipping through your grasp."
