APERIODIC exhibition

APERIODIC brought together artists, scientists, musicians and others in an exhibition about pattern. The show presented work that explores ideas relating to the mathematics and science of ‘aperiodic order’: the absence of regular or repetitive patterns. Or, more simply, ‘things that almost repeat, but not quite’.

The exhibition at Kit Form included work by Bristol artists  Vera Boele-Keimer and Lucy Ward. Bristol composer and audiovisual artist Liam Taylor-West presented a new interactive piece. Bristol-based company Air Giants exhibited one of their giant inflatable interactive robots, ‘Sprout’, recently returned from the Science Gallery in London.
