we don’t care about devices, we are looking for “apparatus” AFFLUX is a apparatus.
this collection metaphorically compares the pleasures we reach and the path to pleasure in two different but similar situations. The characters here convey this point of view abstractly behind the physical actions. There are motto sentences summarizing the situation to be mentioned in each work.
the works are made by oil paint, physical dimensional textures and mixed techniques on canvas. a special soundtrack was then composed for the story of each painting. the technique, colors and similar features of the works were analyzed by the algorithm and programmed as an audio-reactive to be reproduced by the algorithm. during this production, the algorithm spreads it over a wide period of time in harmony with the elements of the sound and turns it into an animation.

‘’you can't assemble without scattering’’
the expression and texture on the character’s face, the squeezing of the jawbones, the fact that he can still look ahead even with his eyes closed, tries to reflect the situation he is in and how he has become stronger, and his upright stance.

"heated thoughts thirst for the cold touches of logic and the relentless details."
here you see a character drinking bloodily. we see how he quickly takes water or any drink to get rid of that heat and puts it in his mouth… drink, body, or physical action are metaphors here. this physical act compares the emotion and quest we feel to rationalize situations that we think about over and over and are unable to get out of. the character conveys the pleasure we reach and the path to it with a different but similar feeling.
physical work will be shipped to the nft owner with its special box and a signed work certificate.
