Perpetuum Inefficiens is an audiovisual real-time installation that interweaves financial markets, sustainability indicators, and live weather data into a complex behavioral system. It operates as a poetic structure of rules, functioning less as a model of markets than as a translation of signals into movement, sound, and atmospheric change. Temperature, air quality, and climate values directly shape sonic and visual behavior, creating resonances between environmental conditions and systemic dynamics. At the center of the work, speculative financial circles and indicators of planetary viability enter into a fragile and unstable balance. The installation responds continuously to real-time data and to human presence through camera detection and an interactive web interface. Stability remains elusive. The work asks whether a system driven by perpetual growth can ever reach a state of rest, while inviting viewers to experience a dynamic and breathing contradiction
Perpetuum Inefficiens is an ongoing work. The visual system is currently being reworked toward a more atmospheric and spatial light-based structure..
The installation is conceived as a spatially adaptive environment. It can unfold as a panoramic projection spanning two or three projectors along a single wall, as a distributed arrangement across three walls, or as a single-channel version for smaller spaces. In each configuration, the essential behaviors and dramaturgical structure remain intact.
High-brightness projection is fundamental to the work because the installation is intended to function as light rather than as projected imagery. Its color fields are meant to be experienced as luminous spatial presences instead of images merely displayed on a surface.
