“Sculptural storage formats” is an exhibition that delves into Nicosia’s intricate rhythm created by natural cycles and human interaction. This rhythmic duality forms the urban landscape’s lifeblood, dictating unique patterns and cadences that tell the city’s stories. Each beat, whether enduring or fleeting, resonating or clashing, visible or subdued, creates a dynamic symphony that alludes to the constant motion of the city. The title, ‘Sculptural Storage Formats,’ reflects the core concept of the exhibition: the transformation of abstract data into tangible form. Each sculpture is more than a mere artistic creation; it is a ‘storage format,’ a physical embodiment of the data. Just as a hard drive stores information in binary code, these sculptures store the ‘information’ of Nicosia’s rhythm in their esthetical properties.
Harnessing the power of data from the Smart Nicosia project, “Sculptural storage formats” offers a unique lens through which to view the city’s heartbeat. This data capturing ever-changing environmental conditions and the oscillating tide of people and vehicles reveals multiple patterns. Each element adds to a harmonious symphony of the city, setting a unique tempo in which daily rhythms intertwine with the city’s significant milestones and life rituals.
The project was developed as part of the Artist-in-Residence Program at Thinker Maker Space of CYENS.
All data used for the project were collected from the Smart Nicosia project.
Calin Segal is computational designer, recognized for his pioneering work in the realm of generative systems. While his initial attraction lay in the architectural field, his path took a turn as he was drawn towards the intriguing world of interactive and generative art. He found his creative voice through digital tools, carving a distinctive, self-guided trajectory that seamlessly blended art with technology.
Upon entering the professional arena, Segal co-founded In-Dialog, a research studio aimed at exploring the intersection of art and technology. With an array of diverse skills that span traditional design, craftsmanship, modern coding, and 3D modeling, he has ventured into unexplored realms of the artistic domain. His work explores the fascinating interplay between control and unpredictability, harnessing the power of mathematical models and algorithms to produce dynamic, evolving compositions. At the core of Segal’s creative process lies generative art, a symbiosis of technology and art that provides an infinite canvas for self-expression and imagination.
Calin Segal, though confident in his talent, remains a humble force in the art and technology landscape. With his innovative design approach and fresh perspectives, he is transforming the creative field while maintaining a strong connection to its traditional roots. Even at this early stage, his dedication and passion for pushing boundaries places him alongside established contemporaries in the field, promising an exciting journey ahead.
