Balletic

Owen McAteer (Motus Art)

What is Balletic?

Balletic is a generative art animation created by digital artist Owen McAteer.
In this piece, a grid of rotating blocks that move together in a mathematically choreographed dance to reveal hidden patterns, shapes and flowing figures.

Exploring soft fluid motion in a hard fixed grid of blocks to a two-tone minimalist design, the piece comes to life in dance, conducted by the combination of several algorithms, easing curves and timing modifiers all working together.

In this project I explore and relieve the hidden beauty of mathematics and algorithms in a synchronized ballet. The piece create soft organic timed patterns and flow in a dance of the hard ridged blocks that make up the dancers.

This piece shows hidden figures in the empty space between and behind the moving blocks. Whether still or moving they show something. Something that can only been seen from a space of emptiness.
