Ryo Ikeshiros "Construction in Self" is a generative work based on the Lorenz dynamical system. It has sensitive dependence on initial conditions, giving rise to what is commonly known as the “butterfly effect”. Its generative form is suggested by this property and the work takes an input prior to performance as initial conditions from which a different piece is produced each time. For the Bim podcast, the GPS coordinates of the Palais des Beaux Arts were used as the starting position to generate a unique geolocation-specific performance. Recorded by Bernhard Garnicnig on the sidewalk at the Palais des Beaux Arts Wien. Binaural recording, headphones recommended for listening.
