-The title of the work refers to the mathematical term of the same name (David Ruelle / Floris Takens, 1971) borrowed from chaos theory which describes physical laws of chaotic behaviour in dynamic processes. Based on strange attractors it’s possible to for instance to mathematically describe turbulent currents of liquids or gases that cannot otherwise by analytically captured due to their complexity and level of randomness. In the installation two Lorenz Attractors [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system]] are used to generate the sound as well as the visuals. +The title of the work refers to the mathematical term of the same name (David Ruelle / Floris Takens, 1971) borrowed from chaos theory which describes physical laws of chaotic behaviour in dynamic processes.

 +The work was inspiret by the article "Die Chaos-Maschine: Analoge Computer wiederentdecken"  
 +[[https://www.elektormagazine.de/magazine/elektor-201109/3939|Elector Magazine 09-10/2011]] by Maarten H. P. Ambaum and 
 +R. Giles Harrison (Department of Meteorology, University of Reading, UK).\\ 
 +Most knowledge about analog computers are from the [[http://www.analogmuseum.org/english/library.html|Analog Museum]].\\ 
 +The development of the [[https://paperpcb.dernulleffekt.de/doku.php?id=analog_computer:analog_computer_main| Analog Computer Confetti]] was supported by [[https://artscienceblr.org/|Art Science BLR]] and the [[http://www.theisro.org/|Indian Sonic Research Organization]] at the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, and the [[http://www.goethe.de/ins/in/en/bag.html|Goethe-Institut Max Mueller Bhavan]].\\

Wolfgang Spahn is a visual & sound artist based in Berlin. His work includes installations, performances of light & sound and miniature-slide-paintings. His art explores the field of analogue and digital media and focuses on both their contradiction and their correlation.
He is faculty member of the Sound Studies and Sonic Arts, Berlin University of the Arts.
