WK1: Three Systems

One: Swarm Theory -

Swarm theory is a conceptual notion regarding the decentralised, self-organising nature of collective behaviours as a system of interpretation, considering various variables in order to attempt to predict and suggest the continual nature of the ‘swarm’. Variables considering the speculation of movements, distance between the objects of observation or the apparent velocity to one another, or even the relation between swarms, as a result defining a geometrical form, which by considering such variables allows one to understand and contort the swarm from a geometrical point of view.


Two: Light Dispersion -

When referring to this notion of light dispersion, I am in fact referring to the dispersion of light within nature through natural mediums such as water, a fog or even simply a tree, which results in the light itself becoming more visible to the naked eye. Although light is visible in one sense, in another, it simply only exists, however when dispersed through a medium, visible geometrical beams begin to form. This is quite an interesting concept as portrayed through the image above where these geometrical beams are not defined by the individual’s perception, but the dispersion begins to define additional things, such as the gradient colour of the water, dependent upon the medium itself.


Three: Fibonacci Sequence –






The Fibonacci sequence in the context here, is referring to its application within natural formations, whether the form of a shell or a flower. However the image I have presented considers the sequence within human form. The image suggests as an individual curls their fist the sequence will emerge through the relative shape portrayed or the number of knuckles visible for example. This is an interesting concept in the sense of a geometrical form defined through a sequence of numbers via the individual perception of the responder as to where the sequence is actually emerging.
