Three white balls in the field of snow. The balls are robots capable of autonomous and coordinated movements. They are exchanging information about their reciprocal positions and
are using as a motion equation the law which is qualitatively analogous to the gravity law. The
balls are attracted and repulsed depending on the space between them and their mass. They are
moving not as point masses ready to turn in any moment, but as vectored points. This is a
mathematical model of three-body system. It is impossible to predict their trajectories over the
long period of time. To a purely mathematical model we are adding its physical embodiment; as
a result, we have a multitude of not accounted for and non-foreseeable parameters, such as field
irregularities, patches of clinging snow, mechanical control imprecisions etc. These new
parameters make it impossible to predict the robots’ movements even one minute ahead.
We can only watch developments and sudden changes in relationships between them.
Through video, we are capturing the process of incessant calculations which is chaotically
changing mutual trajectories of the balls. Having created the system, we cannot control it. We
can only serve
as physical inaccuracies influencing the current mathematical operation; at the same time we
don’t know how exactly we are influencing these calculations. We renounce control and accept
the impossibility of control. This is an autistic system, close-looped to endlessly calculate itself.
