+ About the Exhibition +
+
The exhibition will feature individual and collaborative works by Michael Winter and Mareike Yin-Yee Lee in a constellation designed specifically for the Lichthof Ost exhibition room of the Humboldt University. The original kinetic sculpture Winter created to visualize the aperiodic tilings of the history of the domino problem will be juxtaposed with recent works by Yin-Yee Lee as well as collaboratively created realizations of the tilings. The works on display by Yin-Yee Lee will highlight selections from her Hidden Lakes and Missing Pieces series in which enigmatic outlines of lakes and various shapes encourage observers to perceive similarities and differences in form, pattern, and repetition between the pieces and to mentally fill in blank space. The collaborative realizations of the tilings will include prints generated by Winter with the aid of a computer that incorporate images and color schemes by Yin-Yee Lee as well as a floor mosaic of drawings on mirrors. The exhibition plays on the macro versus the micro, transformation, and how topologies of various color combinations, relationships between shapes and gradients reflect in space in order to illuminate "a few thoughts on how things fit together..."

+ About the Kinetic Sculpture +
+
+ The kinetic sculpture displays the mosaics using visual cryptography. In visual cryptography, a message is encrypted by dividing the information of the message into two `shadow' images, each which look completely random independently. The message is decrypted and revealed when the shadow images are combined/overlayed in a precise orientation. In the kinetic sculpture of a history of the domino problem, the shadow images are printed on photomasks, which are essentially high-resolution transparencies: quartz wafers with a chrome coating etched at a pixel size ranging from nano- to micrometers. A high-precision, motorized multiaxis aligns the finely printed shadow images to reveal the mosaics (along with 3 other images of poetic texts inspired by the history of the Domino Problem). +
