Peripetics
Peripetics or the Installation of an Irreversible Axis on a Dynamic Timeline
Zeitguised made a piece in six acts for the opening exhibition at the Zirkel Gallery. It entails six imaginations of disoriented systems that take a catastrophic turn, including the evolution of educational plant-body-machine models and liquid building materials.

Comments from their site:
Zeitgeist’s Aminoassets is a play on the building blocks of all life on earth – Amino Acids. The lo-fi stop-motion style is an interesting approach to the story of evolution where everything starts and finishes with assets – is what we own what we are? – and though the mutant fusion apocalyptic finale is a little predictable, the overall combination of style and content choice made this piece stand out for us as a cohesive well written well executed idea rather than just another software based eye candy techno workout.
Our Choice because.
Amino Acids created proteins which form the basis of life, Aminoassets by Zeitguised explores this.
Beginning with a puff of smoke we are a shown assortment of objects spread across a sheet of lined paper implying that this is a study from a text book at school. The animation style is a kind of stop motion but done on a computer which adds to the nostalgic mood.
The objects build up and rub together in a primordial soup of creation as the stark clitchly soundtrack intensifies. Eventually the objects combine to create strange mutant people.
The piece ends as it begins in a puff of smoke, a reference to civilisations demise perhaps? Also saying how everything we know is made of the same elements. In all an excellent piece.Selected and commented by The Designers Republic
